    Quest to complete the Orange River Water Trail continues | Column (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    My wife, Nancy, and I were based in far-eastern Maine in late July where we were attempting to finish our exploration of the Orange River Water Trail located in Whiting. We had previously completed an eastern portion of Orange River and Rocky Lake on the western end. Orange Lake, some of Orange River, Reynolds Brook and Little Lake remained. A possible impediment to our mission: moderate to strong northwest winds were expected. We began our second day at a bridge on Dodge Road, where we had ende

    Read excerpt

    My wife, Nancy, and I, along with both of our sons, have been paddling at The Forks in western Maine during weekends since the mid-1980s. While kayaking and canoeing whitewater on the Dead and Kennebec rivers has been the primary focus, flatwater paddling on the beautiful lakes and ponds in the area has also been a frequent part of our agenda. Recently, we decided to join our youngest son, Adam, for a weekend of paddling at The Forks. On Saturday, we planned to participate in a Penobscot Paddle

    Scarborough Marsh a unique paddling experience | Column (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For paddlers looking for a unique, scenic kayak or canoe trip, Scarborough Marsh in southern Maine is a good choice. The 3,100-acre estuary is the largest salt marsh in Maine. Situated between the Dunstan and Nonesuch rivers and the Atlantic Ocean, freshwater flows from the rivers while twice-daily tides from the ocean inundate the marsh. For thousands of years, these competing aquatic forces have created a twisting, narrow channel that travels through the marsh to the sea. Several years ago, I
