Kayaking in Southern Maine
Kayak
Rentals and Kayak Tour Directory
Kayaking in
Southern Maine is a great way to explore the Southern Maine
Coast, Bays and Rivers. Whether paddling past long sandy
beaches, along the rocky shoreline, in Casco Bay, in a tidal
creek, or up the Saco, Mousam, York or Kennebunk river, you will
soon leave the hustle and bustle behind, and find yourself
immersed in a world of tranquility, beauty, and adventure.
Kayaking
is an environmentally friendly way to see the natural beauty
that Southern Maine is famous for.
There are many different types of Kayaks. Some are designed for
touring and some for fishing. Each design has characteristics
that make it better suited for its intended use.
Whitewater Kayaks are short and very maneuverable, Touring
Kayaks are long and fast, and offer lots of storage space to
bring supplies for longer trips.
Fishing
Kayaks are very stable, and include fishing equipment such as
rod holders and anchors. If you’re not sure what’s best for you,
ask your outfitter, and they’ll be able to point you in the
right direction.
The possibilities for Kayaking in Maine are endless. You can
rent a Kayak, take a scenic tour with a guide, and even arrange
for a several day long trip with overnight camping. You decide
how adventuresome you want to be.
Paddling along the Southern Maine Coast, you’re likely to see
lobstering, birds, seals, and beautiful scenery. For a quieter
paddle, try one of the many inlets and tidal rivers that line
the coast.
What
to bring...
You’ll want to check with your outfitter to see if they have any
particular requirements, but generally you’ll need:
~ Plenty of water
~ Sun block and a hat
~ A snack for longer paddles
~ Water shoes if you plan on getting out along the way
You may also want to bring a camera. Make sure you have a dry
bag to put it in, to avoid damage from water. Most outfitters
offer these at no extra charge.
