Bring your own canoe or kayak and gear or rent (see boat/canoe rentals) from one of the local shops and tour slow moving rivers like the Kennebago, Magalloway, Carrabassett or Dead River; paddle the ponds to view the common loon and mergansers or cranes and herons; or explore the coves and islands of one or more of the seven lakes in the Rangeley chain (Rangeley, Cupsuptic, Mooselookmeguntic, the Richardsons, Kennebago and Umbagog), or Flagstaff Lake, Maine's fourth largest lake. All offer excellent paddling for beginners and experts alike.       Trips vary in length from short day excursions to three to five day journeys. Guides are available to enhance your trip (see guide services), and some local businesses offer group trips throughout the summer.       If watercraft with a motor is more your style, there is plenty of water for your enjoyment. The larger lakes in the region can make exploring a multi-day amusement. Local marinas rent fishing, pontoon and waterski boats as well as personal watercraft, and some even offer guided and sunset tours.        Many in-town stores carry depth charts of the local waters for fishing and touring information. For more information about boating and canoeing in the region see the related links at the bottom of this page!
