ent a canoe or kayak and paddle one of the state's scenic lakes, ponds, rivers or bogs. Numerous watersheds throughout the forests, mountains and lowlands provide paddlers with water conditions ranging from gentle currents to raging whitewater. Wilderness trips along the Allagash, Penobscot, St. John, Moose, St. Croix and Machias rivers are among the most popular. Primitive campsites are numerous along these routes, and outfitters, shuttle and rental services are readily available throughout the state. Always helpful are Registered Maine Guides who offer guided tours of the inland waterways, and instruction when needed. Whitewater kayaking is just one more possibility for the adventurous at heart. Experienced guides and outfitters are highly recommended for these trips, as conditions can be quite dangerous at times. Maine topo maps and hiking trail maps are available through Trails.com.
