Northern Forest Canoe Trail Online Auction is Open

Bid to win outdoor gear in the Northern Forest Canoe Trail’s 11^th Annual Online Auction at www.biddingforgood.com/theCanoeTrailAuction. This month-long event is the ideal place to get paddling and camping gear in time for the holidays while supporting the nonprofit that protects access to the longest water trail in the nation.

The auction includes name brand paddling and camping gear made by ExPed, Ice Mule, Kokatat, MTI Adventurewear and REI. Boats include a foldable 12′ Oru kayak ($1,275 value) which transforms from box to boat in just 5 minutes and weighs only 26 lbs., and a used sample Wenonah Spirit II 17′ canoe.

Up for bid are guided trips and lodging along the canoe trail in the Adirondacks, and northern Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine including a Maine Woods Discovery Two-Night Getaway for Two—five locations the winner can choose from—with a “Goods from the Woods” tote bag ($900 value).

The auction is live now through December 1, and is co-sponsored by Paddling.net. Proceeds benefit the Northern Forest Canoe Trail which maintains the 740-mile water trail that connects lakes and rivers from the Adirondacks to northern Maine.
