Moose River: Jackman Landing to Rockwood Landing

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!

This 36-mile section connects the towns of Jackman and Rockwood via the Moose River and a series of lakes. This trip follows largely undeveloped shoreline, giving paddlers great wildlife viewing opportunities and gorgeous views of Mt. Kineo as you get closer to Rockwood. Groups will be able to run a handful of Class I- II rapids. There is a 0.3-mile portage and a section of technical whitewater that requires a 3-mile portage if not running it. This section has some long travel days on windy lakes and a portion that requires strong whitewater skills or the ability to do a 3-mile portage. Recommended for experienced groups.
