I’ve been on the hunt for an Old Town Pack and I finally found one. I’m wondering what these are worth and what is a decent price? It looks to be in great shape considering its age. He says he bought it new 10 years ago and it has always been stored inside. Only a few scratches which from...

Looks awesome and in my neck of the woods! Any portages? Something I could handle with a 58lb canoe plus gear? I’ll look into this for sure when I get my books. I also happened to have 2 of my Thule canoe carrier pieces run over so I am waiting for replacements. Been over a week and they...

I think I remember Nahmakanta fro the AT. If so I’ll check that out too since it isnt too far from home. So many good options it seems like! I won’t get bored going to the same place twice thats for sure! I think I spelled it pretty good off the top of my head! 😂

I had one of these and sold it after 24 hours to buy an OldTown Next. I want a Pack canoe or something similar (35lbs or less). Thanks though!

Thanks! A bit too far away for me but I appreciate it. I’m kicking myself, I just missed one for sale in my area on facebook before I posted here…

Thanks Bill, you are right about the weight but it is perfect for what I plan to use it for. I’m already on the hunt for something lighter to use on longer trips (under $1k preferably). I’ll look for the north forest trail too. I got my Atlas yesterday, and was checking out Mooselookguntoc...

I got a new Oldtown Next canoe

I want somewhere I can go paddle, fish and camp and be in relative solitude if that exists anymore haha. Primitive campsites off the beaten path will work, heck I don’t mind camping anywhere as long as it’s allowed and I’m not on private property by mistake….

Thanks for the suggestions! Jackman isn’t too far I don’t think. I’m in the Bangor area so I can get to Monson/Greenville in about an hour.

I’ll have to check that out! I’ve heard if Rangely lakes but have never been there.

Thank you! I’ve been on many backpacking trips so I have the camping part down and thankfully all of that gear already. It’s just the canoeing part (and combining the two) I need to learn. ☺️

Thanks Robin, I’ll grab that one too! Also picked up a new Gazateer from Amazon thanks to yellowcanoe! I’m 2 hours north of Cumberland county so it shouldn't be a problem for me. There are so many lakes and rivers in Maine and I’m excited to start visiting some of them. These guides will...

just ordered this book thank you! The Atlas I can buy local. I will also look at Lobster lake🙂

Oh an Atlas! I know what that is and think I have one. I didn’t know it shows the launches and campsites.

I’ve only owned a canoe for a month so I’ve never tried canoe camping anywhere. Just been to the local lakes near me fishing really. We don’t know what we don’t know I guess😞 I have never heard of a Maine Gazateer but I’ll look for one, thanks!

Does anyone know any good places (lakes/rivers) in Maine where I can park my car and just paddle off for a few days camping? I’m sure there are lots of places but I just don’t know about them. Everywhere I have been so far to paddle or fish seems pretty populated. State parks maybe? Moosehead?

I’m looking for an OT Pack canoe in decent shape in Maine. If you have a comparable canoe for sale near me I would be interested as well. Thanks!

Awesome thanks! I’ll give that a try for sure.

Thanks, I will have to play around with that. My seat has been all the way to the rear since I’ve owned it and I have not changed it. I am guessing that can’t be the ideal position for trim with no other gear in the canoe other than a fishing pole, some tackle and a life vest. What is the...

I took the canoe out the last 3 days. It seems I can last about four hours before my back starts feeling it. I didn’t check the time the first two days and I made it back to shore both days after 4 hours of paddling and fishing. If ai wanted to stay out all day it would be no problem to pull...
