Canoe Trips
- Upper West Branch of the Penobscot River
4 – 6 Day Canoe Trip
$475 - $650 per person
This is a spectacular trip through some of Maine's most untouched and breathtaking wilderness. We usually see several moose along the riverbanks, eating and swimming in the river.
We will meet near the put-in of the Upper West Branch of the Penobscot River. The next morning, we'll put-in at Lobster Trip and canoe down the river to a pre-determined primitive campsite where we'll spend our first night. All campsites on this trip have an outhouse, picnic table and fire pit. Lunch is served along the way.
We'll set up camp and your REGISTERED MAINE GUIDE will cook dinner on an open fire. After your tents are up and your gear is arranged the way you like it, you are welcome to relax by the fire and enjoy the company of your friends. Your guide can teach you anything you want to know about cooking out of doors on an open fire, "just ask". On the last day of this canoe trip, we will take out at a pre-determined spot and everyone can unload canoes for the last time and load everything back into the truck and canoe trailer so we can head home.
This trip is expedition-style, which means we bring everything we will need for the three days. There are no stores along the way!! A list of ITEMS TO BRING will be sent to you when you book your reservation. All of the cooking gear, camping gear, canoes, paddles, life vests and tents are supplied by ENCHANTED OUTFITTERS & LODGE. Please call for more details and prices for your group.
3- 4 day Canoe Trip
$375 - $450 per person
 We will explore Attean Pond and Holeb Stream, well known as The Bow Trip, giving participants the knowledge to safely explore some of Maine's inland waterways.
You will be paddling through some of western Maine’s most beautiful forested lands and learning about our connections to the landscape and the watershed of the Moose River Valley near Jackman, Maine. Guests commonly have the opportunity to see loons, eagles, osprey, deer and moose.
This trip begins at our base in West Forks, Maine and includes meals and professional Maine guides. The guides will give instruction on basic paddling strokes and canoeing skills. Throughout the trip everyone participates in setting up, maintaining, and breaking down camp. In the evenings at camp, your guides can teach you more canoeing and camping skills, including outdoor cooking over an open fire and with dutch ovens. There is plenty of time to relax and enjoy the trip while you learn how to do an expedition-style canoe trip. We provide canoes, paddles, personal flotation devices, tents, all meals and camp equipment. Personal dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.

8 – 12 day  Photo by Carol Verderchio
Approximately $1500 per person
This is the most beautiful, relaxing and serene trip you could take. The Green River is magnificent, allowing you to canoe down river among ancient cliff-dwelling ruins with granaries and pictographs of our ancestor’s. Along the way, there are short hikes to see unbelievable views. We will set up camp on the banks of the Green River and enjoy an atmosphere of peace and serenity beyond your imagination. This is an unforgettable trip and should be done in the Spring or Fall.
It all begins with a flight into Salt Lake City followed by a shuttle ride to Moab. Once in Moab, we will stay overnight in a motel. Early the next morning the shuttle service will load our gear and take us to the put-in of the Green River. From that point, we will be alone for six days until we reach the take out spot where we will be picked up by Tex’s Riverways and returned to Moab. At this time we will have a group dinner, spend the last night in a motel and take the shuttle back to Salt Lake City to catch our flights.
The fee for this trip is approximately $1500 per person, including all meals (starting with lunch the day we put-in until we are picked up by the shuttle service on the river), canoes, paddles, life vests and a few extras. You must provide your own airfare to and from Salt Lake City as well as the Shuttle to Moab and two nights lodging at the motel. A list of additional “Items to bring” for this trip will be sent at time of reservation. Please call for more information.
3-4 day Canoe, Camp & Hike
During this short canoe on Lobster Lake we have often seen eagles soaring, moose drinking and loons nesting. The campsites are perfect for a 2–3 night get-away. From our campsite, there is a short paddle to the trail-head of Lobster Mountain where you'll enjoy a nice hike and have lunch. After the hike, you'll paddle back and have dinner by the campfire. This trip offers a few nice days to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city, and can be taken anytime spring, summer or fall. (The foliage is beautiful.)
