Has anyone paddled Depot Stream to Big Black River in Maine? Maybe putting in at Depot Lake and taking out at the St. Johns? Thanks!

Thanks! I'll have the video up later this week.

This is what I found from BobMills on the stream connecting Lower Jo-Mary and Pemadumcook: There was another post that I can't find now about a guy who had gone from Pemadumcook into Lower and didn't mention any trouble. I agree though; "I think this is just something that needs to be done...

I can't wait to go back!

Thanks for looking!

Great stuff! Thanks. Did you get in by hugging the west bank, or had the channel shifted farther north?

Yes. I think Bob suggested Lower Jo-Mary Stream that passes into Pemadumcook by White Horse Island was not passable. It is only about 500 feet though. I should have gone and taken a look at it at low water levels.

I think you are right. I paddled as far up the Deadwater as I could (past the green arrow) and tried to cut west several times to no avail. I then paddled back down and was able to land at the red arrow and walked up to the yellow arrow on shore. There was no way anyone wad going to get up there...

Thanks. I'm keen to see if a Turkey Tail through Debsconeags and back down the West Branch is a plausible (mostly loop). I think you've wondered that as well?

Around the islands on Middle Jo-Mary?

Thanks for the great trip report!

Great stuff! My wife and I love the Debsconeags. This is the first year in a few that we have not been in there at all, so your video was much appreciated. I just got back from a trip to the Jo-Mary's...

alsg and Otto Syracuse , I re-uploaded the images and changed the FB link. Would you let me know if it's working now? Thanks!

That's weird. I'm seeing them all. Hmmmm

A big thanks to BobMills for his willingness to share his knowledge of the Jo-Marys with me before my solo trip a few days ago. It is VERY dry. Not only was Cooper Brook a no-go, this is what the chute by Buckhorn looked like: Nonetheless, it was a great trip! I'll be heading back when water...

I just returned from a short (3-day/2-night) solo trip to Maine's Jo-Mary Lakes, which are located south of Katahdin. Thanks in advance to BobMills for providing some info on the trip. I took my new-to-me Old Town Pack 12, and while the trip did not go as planned, it was still a great trip. The...

I'm back from trip two, and I did some modifications between the two trips. I added lacing (with acrylic tubing loops on the inside), grab loops at bow and stern, and kneeling pads. I also put in two D-rings forward of the thwart. I still have to add the shock cord, but I was out and the new...

I'm just back from a quick shake-down trip (2 nights) in the North Maine woods in the pack. Here are my initial thoughts: I love paddling this boat kneeling. I will install knelling pads ASAP...lol. I'm almost tempted to do away with the seat altogether and just install a kneeling thwart at the...

I can a max of 10-12 days hiking with a pack at altitude with mountaineering gear, so fitting camping gear (and fishing gear!) into a 12' canoe for a 5-7 day trip feels like the lap of luxury! :-)

Okay! So thanks to your advice here and lots of reading up, here is my plan: First I'm going to install painter loops at both the bow and the stern. These loops will serve both as an attachment point for my painters and for an attachment point for my center keeper straps. The bow keeper strap...
