Winter Season is on its way! Snowmobile Rentals Maine Winter Vacation

Well we hope....We are well into our fall/early winter season in the Moosehead Lake Region. The leaves have fallen from the trees. The wildlife of the area are starting to move to the next season as well. The Moose "Rut" mating season is well behind us and Whitetail Deer too. The woods have grown quiet but for that chattering of hte Red Squirrels scolding me while she fills her nest with food for the winter. Its just days now until The Big Lake caps over for that long winter coating of deep thick Ice. This can only mean one thing for those of us who love the next season. WINTER IS COMING!

Our staff have busy as Beavers preparing the store with new inventory like warm clothes, Skis, Snowshoes and Snowmobile Gear. The snowmobile rentals are getting a good tune up. X/C ski packages are flying out the door in anticipation of that first big snowfall of the season. Keep posted to this blog- as the next will be full of winter pictures and activity reports. It wont be long now.

Moosin' Around

There is a crispness in the air; a bit cool. Summer is closing in as Fall draws near. The leaves will soon start their metamorphosis: miraculous ribbons of scarlet red and burnt orange will captivate the foliage. The moose are still active. On this crisp morning we enjoyed a spectacular show of a moose eating. Moose are excellent swimmers and are known to wade into water to eat aquatic plants, like lillies and pondweed. Enjoy this video of our recent Moose Safari. 

One Family's Picture Perfect Moose Safari

With warmer weather on the way it is a great time to enjoy a Moose Safari at Northwoods Outfitters. A recent guided moose tour with Ashley produced this perfect picture opportunity! Our guests enjoyed this special connection with our friend, the moose. Our experienced guides continue to delight customers with moose sightings. Call today to book your upcoming family outing.

Morning Moose Watching Trip!

Spring is here and the moose are really starting to move. All of our trips this week spotted the elusive Bullwinkle. 18 moose sightings this week alone! We have had a blast with our customers, some repeat and some from as far away as England! The moose are a little grey this time of the year after a long winter. As the season comes along they will start to bulk up and show antlers. Soon the calf's will be born! Creating great photo opportunities! This mornings customers Diane and John drove 900 miles just to join Ashley on a guided Maine Moose Tour. They were not dissappointed! Moose watching Trips offered Daily!

5-Day Allagash Canoe/Camping Trip

Allagash Trip – May 17-21, 2010
From Master Maine Guide – Mark Patterson
I had 3 clients with me for this 5-day Allagash canoe trips/camping trip. Putting in at Bissonnette Bridge, we spent day one fighting a head wind – only making it to Chislom Brook to set up camp for the night. Late in the evening, the wind died down and we were lulled to sleep by the familiar call of the migrating Snipe. On day two, the wind had shifted and a nice tail breeze pushed us through the long lake section to Long Lake Dam. This allowed us to troll fish along the way – picking up several Brook Trout, the largest being 15”. The clients also got some nice photos of a Maine Moose swimming across Umsaskis Lake!
On our third night, we spent the evening at my favorite campsite at Round Pond. I made campsite pizza, which turned out to be one of their favorite meals (along with blueberry pancakes with real maple syrup!) Just before dark, a curious small Moose hung around our canoes – sticking around till our snoring ran him off!
Day four netted more Brook Trout and breath-taking views of Maine’s north country! We spent our last night at Allagash Falls, sleeping soundly to the melody of falling water. In the morning, we celebrated with a breakfast of fresh apple pie! While loading up the canoes, I thought I sighted an elusive Muskie below the Allagash Falls – but, it turned out to be a local Beaver who seemed a bit irritated with our lollygagging around!

Mid-May Remote Pond Fishing

A recent half-day guided trip of remote pond fishing yielded great results! We caught approximately twenty native Brook Trout ranging in size from 6” to 16”. It was a relaxing and beautiful night on the pond with no wind to disturb the tranquility. To cap off a great fishing trip, we also saw 9 Moose, 3 Deer, and a Red Fox. It was the perfect Northwoods adventure!

Moose Mania Time! Moosehead lake

Each year those of us here in the Moosehead Lake Region gear up for our annual “Moose Mania” celebration which runs from May 15th through June 12th. During this enjoyable season, Greenville holds various activities for the community and the many visitors who come to view the majestic Maine Moose! Here at Northwoods Outfitters, our Registered Guides are keeping track of the hungry gangly creatures that are making their way out of the dense forest and into prime feeding areas to fatten up after the long winter.
In just the past week, our guided trips have already landed great results! In addition to multiple Moose sightings, our clients have seen Deer, Turkey, Ruffed Grouse, Snowshoe Hare, and Red Fox! One of the trips even experienced a Mink cross right in front of them!
