Experience the sights and sounds of nature on a gently paced paddling tour with veteran Maine Guide, Jen Deraspe, owner and founder of Nurture Through Nature. Explore the quiet waterways of western Maine weaving through the habitat of our local residents including deer, moose, bald eagle, osprey, river otter, beaver, muskrat, turtles, and nesting waterfowl. Come experience a taste of wilderness off the beaten path, offering quiet time in nature for reflection and exploration.
Novice and experienced paddlers are welcome.
If you can walk, you can snowshoe! Experience an invigorating, peaceful, guided excursion in the lakes region and Saco River valley, geared to meet your physical fitness and experience level. Explore a hiking trail or walk through unmarked, snow covered woods, fields and along waterways. Snow shoeing may help calm the mind and open eyes to all the beauty winter holds in this magical landscape. It's interesting and fun to be able to see the tracks left behind by all the critters scurrying around the woods, often missed during the rest of the year when their travels are not so apparent. Explore off the beaten path for an hour or two, half day, or full day, or even a moonlit hike. In a guided snow shoe adventure, we will discuss appropriate winter clothing options and layering systems, simple techniques to snowshoeing, and how to safely explore the woods of Maine. Includes safety talk, warm drinks and snow shoes.
