Allagash Falls Allagash - Paddle through the historic logging country of Maine on the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. From flat water lakes, to mild white water, to views of spectacular Allagash Falls (strictly from the banks). Explore the pristine north Maine woods.  This is THE MAINE CANOE TRIPPING EXPERIENCE.  If you really want to experience how your dad or your grandfather might have experienced the North  Maine Woods do the Allagash River.  Not much has changed over the past 100 years.  Maybe a few more or less access points.  Fewer camps and cabins for sure.  And probably more moose then people.  But, the experience is one that creates memories that last a lifetime!  Time spent on the Allagash is special. 
We offer 6, 8, and 10 day trips on the Allagash.  The 10 day trips start at Chamberlain Bridge for the full 98 mile journey.  This includes the upper lakes of Chamberlain,  Eagle, and Churchill.  The 8 day trip put-in is Indian Stream on the east side of Eagle Lake.  It covers approximately 80 miles of the waterway.  The 6 day trip begins below Churchill Dam at the start of Chase Rapids a 9 mile stretch of class II rapids.   

St John - 110-mile trip through quick water and rapids rated up to Class III white water. The upper St John flows through some of the most remote wilderness of northwestern Maine. Wildlife abounds in this untamed wilderness.  Because the St John River valley drains so efficiently the only water that we depend on is the spring run-off.  Unless we have a wet summer the river is just too low to paddle.  This tends to reduce the overall impact on the St John River.  The benefit is well maintained seldom used sites.  The night sky star gazing from sites along the St John are incredible.  Good chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

EagleSt Croix - Paddle 35 miles along Maine's eastern border with New Brunswick, Canada. Experience flat water through Class III paddling. But don't be discouraged by the rapids, this trip is worth it even if you choose to portage the wild water, they are few and far between. This is an excellent introduction to whitewater canoeing.  We like to start these trips on Thursday to beat the weekend paddlers.  Great campsites.  Good fishing for smallmouth bass, best in July and August.

St Croix RiverWest Branch Penobscot - Follow the historic route of Thoreau down this beautiful waterway. Side trips into Lobster Lake, stop at historic Chesuncook village and take out at Ripogenous Dam. This trip is ideal for those that enjoy quite water paddling aided by a nice steady current.  Wildlife abounds, moose, beaver, loon, and bald eagle all find homes along this beautiful stretch of quintessential Maine forest.

East Branch Penobscot - Flowing along the east side of Baxter State Park, the East Branch is full of whitewater rapids and spectacular views of North Traveler mountain and Katahdin.  In the 30 miles that we paddle you will find drops that will challenge and thrill even the most experienced paddler.   Several short portages the first day keep most folks away from this river.  We believe they are worth it to experience a part of Maine that few explore.  This trip is available to clients that have paddled other rivers with us and want to take the white water challenge to the next level.
