Adirondack All Seasons Guide Service offers guided hiking, camping, canoeing and fishing trips in the Adirondacks under the licensing and regulation of the NYS DEC, the code of ethics of the New York State Outdoor Guides Association and in the grand tradition of the original Adirondack guides by offering Adirondack hospitality through sporting adventures in the Adirondack wilderness.

Owner and lead guide, Peggy MacKellar, strives to provide personalized, memorable, informative and satisfying experiences for all who share time with us outdoors. Peggy enjoys sharing her passion, experience and favorite places with those willing to spend time with her. She will be with you each step and stroke throughout your journey. Peggy's passion is foot bound wilderness exploration, especially in areas she has yet to experience. She prefers taking "lesser traveled paths" and opts for more remote areas when she has the option. For paddle trips she prefers calm, more secluded waters (small ponds, streams, rivers and marsh areas), where there is often abundant wildlife. She revels in the serenity and beauty the flora, fauna, mountains and waters provide.

Peggy prefers to "live simply" and spend her time showing others how to seek a more peaceful existence in the outdoors. She has worked informally with people of all ages in outdoor-related endeavors since 1996 and looks forward to serving you!
