Paddling the Muscle Ridge Archipelago

"When sea kayakers talk about paddling the coast of Maine, they talk about Deer Isle, they talk about Acadia, they talk about Muscongus Bay. Not so often do they talk about the Muscle Ridge Archipelago which, to my mind, offers some of the best paddling on the midcoast.

The Muscle Ridge Archipelago is a wildlife-rich group of islands and ledges on the western end of Penobscot Bay, about 2 miles offshore from South Thomaston. Muscle Ridge was apparently named for the blue mussels which can be found there in great numbers -- and not for the pecs of the thousands of workman who quarried granite from those islands in the late 1800's nor for those of the lobstermen who fish those waters today.

We paddled out of Birch Point Beach State Park (another under-appreciated Maine treasure -- link here for map), circled Ash Island, and then headed across the Muscle Ridge Channel toward Otter Island. Early on the 1 mile crossing, we were treated to the site of 4 harbor porpoises surfacing about 50 yards in front of our kayak . . . "Read more plus kayaking news.

Water Walker Sea Kayak

We offer kayak tours, instruction, rentals (and ample amounts of free advice). Our kayak tours are family and user friendly -- you don't have to have a high-powered budget or be a high powered athlete. 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.

As a "homemade" business in Belfast, Maine, our goal is to provide first class kayaks at prices everyone can afford. We offer neighborly service -- and can ship nationwide. Please contact us for more information.
