Maine Path and Paddle Guides •
5 Easter Ave. Windham, ME 04062
River Trips:
Allagash - Paddle through the historic logging country of Maine on the Allagash
Wilderness Waterway. From flatwater lakes, to mild white water,
to views of spectacular Allagash Falls (strictly from the banks). Explore the pristine
north Maine woods.
St John - 110-mile trip through quickwater 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.
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
West 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.
Moose - The Moose River flows through lakes and the main river to
form a circle. As you paddle you'll circumnavigate Attean
Mountain, portage Holeb Falls, and camp in remote wilderness
sites. Flatwater paddling with some Class I riffles. A great
trip for families and seniors alike.
Flat Water Lake Trips:
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.
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 - 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.
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!
