Canoeing  Directory

    The Greater Fort Kent area has no less than 4 river systems.      
 canoing
  • Fish River 
  • Saint John River
  • Allagash River
  • Saint Francis River
        Water levels vary widely and not all rivers         are runnable at all  times.  Call the hotel             for details. We monitor water levels every         morning through  the US Geological                   Survey web site.
       
        Prices can be as low as $18 per day but will vary depending on  the

        Here are some  local outfitters we reccomend. Call and  tell us what
        you have in mind and we will put you in touch with an outfitter who will
        best meet your needs.


       Allagash Guide Service
One of the best guide services in the area, hunting and fishing expeditions.
          Ask for Sean Lizotte. Canoe rentals available.   

       Adventures in Maine Guide Service
          Allagash River and Saint John River canoe trips
   
        Pelletier's Campground
          Allagash canoe trips and canoe rentals



        Here are links to other areas of interest to canoeists


        Northern Forest Canoe Trail
           This is a 740 mile water trail thru New York, Vermont, Quebec and Maine.
           Definitely not for the faint of heart, some of the portages are as long as
           six miles.  Last summer, 4 parties who had done the whole trip stayed with
           us.  I wish I had had the presence of mind to take their pictures.

        Canoe race schedule
            If canoe and kayak racing is your cup of tea,  Maine has canoe races
            just about every weekend from late March until early October.
