Canoeing is, by far, the most popular option for Maine High Adventure crews. Paddling is available on lakes, ponds, easy to intermediate streams and rivers, and challenging whitewater. A crew can plan a laid-back relaxing trip, a strenuous demanding trip, or anything in between. Portaging may have to be included, no extra charge!

Many groups also include day climbs or side trips in their itinerary. Climbing one of Maine’s majestic peaks, as well as visiting historic landmarks or unique natural areas, adds welcome variety to the trip plan.

Backpacking is another, but limited, option for MHA crews. The Appalachian Trail winds its way over rugged terrain towards the northern terminus atop Mount Katahdin. Nearby Baxter State Park has an extensive network of beautiful trails and outlying campsites. Crews wishing to include backpacking in their trip plan should indicate those desires to MHA when scheduling their high adventure experience.

The wilds of northern Maine offer a variety of fascinating environments - enormous lakes carved by glaciers, whitewater churning down rocky rivers, craggy peaks soaring skyward, endless conifer and hardwood forests, abundant wildlife, and a profusion of colorful wildflowers. Maine has an intriguing history featuring the Abnaki Indians, known as the "Dawn People", Leif Erickson, Henry David Thoreau, and the mighty lumberjacks and sportsmen whose tales and lore have woven a colorful tapestry.

Maine High Adventures offers you and your group an
opportunity to learn and grow while having fun on a unique and custom designed trek.
