“I have many great memories from the fall '03 Allagash River trip.  The island lunch stop the first day looking back at Mt. Katahdin, the interesting campsites at the dams, the miles of fun whitewater, the excellent food, the indestructible canoes.  Galen's outfitting made it all work.” Tom Raschke MN 

 "At Nicatou Outfitters the client receives great, family type treatment.  Not the type of treatment that you would expect from a large corporation, but the type of service that you would expect from your Mom...even the spaghetti sauce is home made." Rob Stutz Columbus, OH

"Galen Hale at Nicatou Outfitters is all one can ask for in an outfitter. I organized the trip from California having never been near the Allagash. Knowledgeable and responsive, Galen seemed to anticipate needs before they arose, making our weeklong trip simple. He took care of everything from equipment to food to lodging to transportation. The food was ample, complete with many homemade touches. The equipment was in first-rate condition. An all-star job!" Keith Kuhn CA

" It was the first time my family and I used Nicatou Outfitters but certainly won't be the last. They were professional, accommodating, knew the area well and were very patient.  Anything that we might have overlooked, they had it. They certainly took any trepidation out of the journey".
