St Croix River St Croix - Paddle along Maine's eastern border with New Brunswick, Canada. Experience flatwater 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

Flat Water Lake Trips:

Happy Paddler! Lobster Lake - Our Lobster Lake trip offers a relaxed alternative to canoe tripping to different sites each night. This is one of the most spectacular lakes in Maine. Remote, loaded with wildlife, and beautiful campsites, with sandy beaches. Take a short morning hike up Lobster mountain, then take a refreshing dip in Lobster's cool waters. Paddle around the big island. Pick blueberries on the shores of the lake. Relax and enjoy our dutch oven cooking or reflector oven cooking over an open fire.

flatwater photo Upper Richardson - The Rangley Lakes region offers many good paddling and camping opportunities. Our favorite is Big Beaver Island at the north end of Upper Richardson Lake. This secluded site is ideal for families that want a safe introduction to Maine wilderness camping.

Mooslookmeguntic Lake - Several remote sites to choose from. Some with southern exposures that are ideal for late August and early September trips. Offering island and mainland sites, it is easy to put together a multi-day trip with several short paddle days.

Flagstaff Lake / Bigalow Mtns Flagstaff - If you don't have the time to travel way up country, Flagstaff Lake provides good canoeing and beautiful scenery within 2 1/2 hours of Portland. Spectacular views of the Bigelow range rising up from the shores of Flagstaff Lake.



Umgagog Lake Umbagog Lake - Paddling up the flatwater of the Androsscoggin into Umbagog Lake, you'll enter into western Maine's pristine wildlife refuge. Nesting bald eagles, moose browsing by the shore, osprey diving for fish, and the possibility of sighting a bear make Umbagog a wildlife watcher's paradise. Bring your camera!
