St. Croix River
Located on the eastern Maine border between New Brunswick, Canada and Maine, the St Croix river is fun to paddle whether it is your first time down or your 100th time down the river. Great for learning to read the river, learn white water strokes, and experiencing canoe tripping down a river.
Trip Details
The 35-mile section that we prefer to start our trips at Vanceboro, ME and we paddle to the take-out at Kellyland near Princeton, ME. This trip combines a lot of class I-II rips with nice flat water paddling for a well-rounded canoeing adventure. Though this river sees many paddlers, we start our trips mid-week to maximize our chances of encountering more wildlife then people.
Several years ago US Border Patrol restricted camping to the US side of the river. Several new sites have been established on the US side to provide additional sites.
