Seasonal Paddling

A  few miles north of town, there flows a river.  It drops out of a lake and winds exhaustingly around muddy bends, startling out pairs of ducks and groupings of geese.  Other days, the river is frozen, and on a good year offers a week of skating for miles and miles.  Some years, I can ski on snow along the river’s edge that reminds me of confectioner’s sugar.  The river runs parallel to a road, and while the length of the road is 7.3 miles, there are dozens of miles of kayaking and canoeing, hunting, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, biking, ATVing and hiking within a few miles of the river’s edge.    The word paradise comes to mind.

I only made it up to Sugarloaf once last year for its epic winter of downhill skiing.  But at least 50 times in the 2011 winter, I put on my skis and journeyed out my back door for another adventure.  Depending on the wind and conditions of trails, I would ski on the river’s edge or find vantage points to visit.  Then came the ice. That’s when the groomed snowmobile trails really came in handy . . .

We offer kayak tours, instruction, rentals (and ample amounts of free advice).

Yet our tours regularly go to some of the most spectacular and ambitious coastal locations offered by outfitters in Maine.

Our retail shop specializes in performance designs by quality manufacturers who keep costs low by limiting advertising and distribution costs. Because of this and low markup, we can offer you more boat for less money -- our fiberglass single sea kayaks start at $1795, and we can ship anywhere in the continental U.S.
