Curious about Wooden Canoes
All --
I'm looking for a 3-day solo canoe trip in Maine
. We'll be heading up there the 2nd or 3rd week of September.
May bring either my 18-foot Old Town Guide or 15 1/2-foot Rilco canoe (depends if we end up camping after my trip or not).
Would like to do a loop, or out and back if possible. I'll be starting on a Sunday or a Monday and prefer few to no crowds if possible. I don't mind portaging or poling. I don't plan on fishing. I can handle some white water, but not too much (maybe class II if I remember correctly).
I just read a little about the Medicine River bow which seemed interesting but would there be enough water in it? Last time I canoed in Maine was on Mooselookmeguntic and Upper Richardson. I don't mind lake canoeing but would not want to be wind bound for 3 days.
I would prefer to be within a couple of hours of either Bangor or Augusta.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, John
