Maine's Only Loop-Route Paddle that Starts & Finishes in the Same Place!

Get insider information about paddling one of Maine's most breathtaking water trails, the Moose River Loop (Moose Loop) & Bow Trip in Jackman! This 40-page book features everything you need to know before you go, including the most accurate and detailed map of the trip you will find anywhere! There are two different adventures in this book- the Moose River Loop that starts and finishes in the same place, or the Bow Trip that avoids a long portage and requires transportation back to the start.

The book also includes things to know before you go, what to bring, detailed information about each section of the river, and full-color photos of images from the trip and reference photos so you know what to expect and look for!
