Freshwater Tours
Our two freshwater options are excellent choices for families or enthusiasts looking to explore the inland waters of Mid-Coast Maine.
Option A: Saint George River Tour
The St. George River Tour begins in Union and follows the meandering St. George River from Seven Tree Pond to the take-out in Warren. With common sightings of both eagles and beavers, this is a wonderful trip to experience with your children or with a group of friends.
Option B: Megunticook Lake Tour
Our Megunticook Lake Tour contours the 7 mile west side of the lake from Norton Pond to Bog’s Bridge and allows time for relaxing and swimming. The lake itself offers protected warm water and splendid views of the Camden Hills and Maiden Cliff.
Our freshwater itineraries are commonly enjoyed from lake kayaks, but canoes can be made available for interested parties.

We had a great (7 mile!) kayak tour all around Norton Pond and Megunticook Lake with Hazel. She was great at sharing information on the lake and sharing stories about Maine. The tour included a stop for lunch with a place to swim and rock jump (our son loved that part). Such a great family adventure during our stay in Maine!
