From 2023-2025, NFCT worked with Teens to Trails to create a series of itineraries for the Maine sections of the canoe trail. The detailed itinerary linked to below is designed to support youth groups, but is great information for all paddlers. Thank you Teens to Trails!
The Moose River Bow Trip is a 34-mile trip that travels from Attean Pond to Holeb Pond, down the Moose River, and back to Attean Pond. This section has a little bit of everything, from lake and river paddling to portaging to some smaller and bigger rapids, all without needing a shuttle. This is a popular trip for a reason, as there is beautiful scenery, wonderful water for paddling, and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. There is also the option to add on a day hike to Sally Mountain if your group is interested. On this trip, there is one long portage (1.2 miles), and one shorter portage (0.3 miles), with the option to portage around some of the Class I-II+ rapids.
