Canoeing & Kayaking Growing in Popularity

It's true! We're more than just rafters... In Maine, we offer canoe trips and easy kayaking trips - read what this article says about the popularity of canoeing -

"Whitewater has become the popular province of kayakers and rafting guides in the past 30 years, but some enthusiasts still prefer small, open boats. Easy to swamp, durable, tricky with a partner, less claustrophobic, it's old-style adventure on a rough river.

An Outdoor Industry Association survey showed 20.8 million Americans went canoeing last year, down from 22.2 million in 2004, while 12.6 million went kayaking, up 20 percent. Also, 10.6 million people went rafting, up 1 million."
