Overview
Northwoods Outfitters operates out of Greenville, on the southern edge of Moosehead Lake, offering guided, year-round adventures across Maine’s North Woods. While many visitors come for their well-known moose safaris, the outfitter also leads canoe and kayak trips, fishing excursions, hiking outings, snowmobile tours, cross-country skiing adventures, and winter wildlife tracking. From quiet paddle routes to backcountry snow-covered trails, their trips are rooted in a deep familiarity with Maine’s working forestlands and changing seasons.
Why It’s Worth a Stop
This is more than a single signature tour. Northwoods Outfitters gives you access to the landscape in every season — misty summer wetlands, crisp fall foliage, frozen winter trails, and the first green flush of spring. Their guides understand the terrain, the wildlife, and the rhythm of the region, whether you’re scanning for moose, casting a line, or riding out on a snowmobile after fresh snowfall.
What to Know Before You Go
• Moose safaris run primarily late spring through early fall
• Winter trips may include snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and wildlife tracking
• Dress for changing conditions — weather can shift quickly
• Reservations are recommended during peak summer and fall foliage seasons
• Insect repellent is helpful in late spring and early summer
Fun Fact
The Moosehead Lake region has one of the densest moose populations in the lower 48 states — but it’s also home to black bear, deer, lynx, and countless bird species.
