Wilderness Canoeing in Maine

Wilderness Canoe Trips One World, One River, One Paddle
We offer traditional canoe trips ranging from one to five days with a registered Maine Guide on the Union, Machias or St. Croix Rivers. We provide the equipment and instruction needed to experience Maine’s Wilderness Waterways. When the sun’s up and the coffee pot’s empty we “break camp”, “load gear” and “put in” and “push off”. The river and you set the pace for the day. At the end of the journey the call of a loon, the sight of deer or moose, smell of camp smoke and words like “rip”, “polling” and “tripping” will have new meaning. All trips are custom designed with all provisions provided. If your wondering about pricing, a good rule of thumb is $100 a day per person, which includes meals, transportation, campsite fee’s, gear, canoes, kayaks and other related equipment.

St. Croix River
By far our favorite river, boarding with Canada the St. Croix is a great family river abounding with fish and wildlife. Flowing from it headwaters to the Atlantic. This isolated waterway is a perfect introduction to gentle rapids and calm paddling. The St. Croix is run able all season, when others in the Northeast are not. A great family experience. River ranges from Class I-III.

Machias River
Maine’s longest free flowing river. No dams, trips are based on season and water flow. “The Machias River rates with the Allagash, Penobscot, Webster and St. John as one of Maine’s most scenic waterways”….AMC Guide. Once an 80-mile native “highway”. The Machias is mixed with exhilarating rapids, cascading waterfalls, tranquil pools and bustling marshes. This is a rare, free flowing river. The fishing along the way may produce a fine supper meal of trout. The river ranges from Class I-III

Union River
Free flowing with one or two day trips possible. From lake to river to lake and river. The Union offers a little of everything, ratings go to Class IV in spring.
