Get in a spectacular five day canoe and camping adventure on Lobster & Chesuncook Lake with MYA and Coyote Ridge Guides in the North Maine Woods with lots of yoga, paddling, birding, swimming, fireside stories and yummy food! The ultimate nature therapy…

The Lobster & Chesuncook Lake trip is a pampered journey albeit rustic as our guides help us carry all our gear, food, supplies, etc. via canoe. This is a good canoe trip for any paddling ability - adventurers can bring along a buddy or come solo and we’ll hook you up with a paddling partner. Our guides, the fabulous Coyote Ridge Guides, Registered Maine Guides, will assist in teaching and reinforcing proper paddling strokes and technique. They also happen to have great personalities and are superb storytellers.

Adventurers will camp along the way in tents at lovely, scenic campsites. Post-paddling adventurers will have plenty of time to relax, swim and practice some yoga before bedtime. All levels of yogis are welcome, no experience, no worries. Daily yoga and meditation practices will be at a level attainable for everyone, we’ll be breathing in the beauty and stretching out our paddling efforts. Being outside at night is always exciting with lots of stargazing and storytelling. There’s nothing like a campfire to bring us all together :)

We’ll meet at a pre-determined location on our first day and drive to Lobster Stream for put in. After our canoes and gear are into the water, we will paddle upstream to Lobster Lake and to a campsite on the lakeshore. The wilderness campsites have lovely sandy beaches and we’ll have plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the stay. There will be ample opportunity for amazing views of Katahdin from both the water and the beaches.

The next day we travel back across the lake and back down lobster Stream to the West Branch of the Penobscot river. We travel down the river for two days and then stay out on Chesuncook lake. The lake was named "goose place" by combining the call of the Canada goose schunk with auke (the Abenaki word for place) to form Chesuncook. Henry David Thoreau visited Chesuncook (village) and lake in 1853 and wrote about its beginnings in his book "The Maine Woods".

Adventurers will have an opportunity to camp on and explore Mauser Island before we get to our take-out location. We’ll travel back to our original meeting place on the fifth day. Taking in and soaking up the last bits of spectacular scenery. Don’t forget your binos!

Our guides will cook all meals over the open fire, and source all of our firewood at the campsites when we arrive. They will cook two meals a day (all dietary restrictions and allergies will be honored), and lunches are usually cold, but all are very substantial. We also have a couple of snacks each day as we travel. For MYA will usually go fully vegetarian but we’ve opened up a fish option for a dinner or two for this canoe trip.

The best part is that the adventure is all inclusive - yessss! All adventurers have to do is show up with their sleeping bag and maybe some clothes :) Every adventurer is provided a dry bag to pack into and if you don’t have a sleeping bag, there are loaners.

We’ll get in a full day wicked rafting experience with the MRE pros and follow it up with an overnight in a rustic cabin at Big Moose Inn Cabins & Campground. Adventurers will get in plenty of yoga along the way as well as yummy food…

The epic adventure will begin at the Maine Rafting Expeditions headquarters in Millinocket for an 8am check in. We will get fitted for all of our gear and get a safety orientation by a Maine Registered Guide. We’ll hop on a bus for about 30 miles to the put in at Mckay Station where we’ll meet our guide and practice paddling before embarking on the Class 5 section of West Branch of the Penobscot River. The Ripogeanous Gorge and The Cribworks offer thrilling rides in world class whitewater while requiring precise teamwork with our guide. No worries, we’ll be assisted the whole way thru!

Great views of Mt. Katahdin and Baxter State park fill the background with moose and eagles riverside almost daily. After the Class 5 section you will have the option to enjoy surfing and maybe some extra rafting activities. At the half way point we break for a riverside lunch, vegetarian options are available. Post food, we’ll be ready for a nap, but we are not done yet.

The lower half of the river starts off with a 12' waterfall that flows into a wild rafting playground for surfing and fun. We’ll have the option of carrying the boat back up over the rocks and running the falls again. There are surfing levels and waterfall caves and much more. Once you get your fix at the falls your trip will lead to a natural water slide - fun! The river then turns into 3 miles of flat water where swimming and relaxing is required. Our trip ends after tackling three more rapids before we get to the take out. We’ll follow it up with a trip back to base to enjoy a slideshow of our wild adventure.

Adventurers will then head to their overnight stay which about a ten minute drive away. We’ll share a cabin at the Big Moose that offers up a loft with 4 single beds, a small bedroom with a single bed, and three sets of bunks located in the main living area. Plenty of room for adventurers! It includes a full kitchen and attached bathroom. There’s also a screened in porch to lounge around in and chit chat. This is a true log cabin with a Maine Cottage character.

MYA will offer up a yoga session and a light dinner before we check out the night sky and settle in to sleep. In the morning, adventurers can look forward to more yoga and a yummy breakfast. We’ll see what the day holds, let’s get in hiking, swimming and/or exploring in the area taking in as much beauty as we can…

The screened in porch will be the perfect spot for wildlife watching, birding, meditating, reading, napping, experiencing some unplugged bliss. Please know that arrival time is very flexible, whatever works for you!

We’re going without electricity but not without comfort (no need to pack your sleeping bag or cookstove!), the lodge built in 1901 is fully furnished and boasts two wood stoves, homemade quilts, a library, plenty of twin beds and bunk beds, a super cool Victrola with some very old school music to get our groove on, and a great room with a gable window for stargazing. Adventurers may want to bust into the cabin game chest for supplies to play badminton, croquet and frisbee :)

We will definitely be taking full advantage of the canoes, kayaks and mountain bikes that are available! Please know that this adventure can be as relaxing or as full of fitness as you like, a go at your own pace adventure. The foliage should be amazing at this point in the season, adventurers can feel free to go crazy with cameras, paints, sketchbooks, journals, however the spirit moves you.

A nightly campfire will be on the schedule complete with wine and/or beer sipping with spooky stories and goofy songs. The Maine night sky is going to be jaw-dropping without light pollution.

Sundayfunday will be all about a fabulous breakfast, a paddle and hitting the trails that take us beyond the property (no hunting day!). Adventurers can decide what they’re up for, there are plenty of gorgeous and dramatic options very close by. Kineo is high on the list and we don’t have to ferry over, Fourth Mountain is a 4 mile out & back with nice wildflowers, and the most challenging would be Little Spencer Mtn which is steep and rocky but still tempting.

Join MYA on an epic voyage as we canoe into the wilderness getting in as much yoga, birding & vegetarian food as we can along the way! Adventurers will get an exceptional dose of nature therapy on a five day adventurous retreat on the legendary Allagash River. From birds to mammals, the wildlife on the waterway will be extraordinary…

The Allagash Wilderness Waterway is Maine’s best-known canoe trip and has attracted paddlers for more than a century. Henry David Thoreau ventured into this region more than 150 years ago by traveling into the Allagash via the Mud Pond Carry from the West Penobscot watershed. Adventurers will be on one of the few eastern rivers that can be paddled for a week without coming into contact with modern civilization. The Allagash is Maine’s only designated Wild and Scenic River endowed with easy flowing river sections and moderate whitewater on Chase Stream Rapids.

Canoe the Wild is our highly recommended professional guide service with exceptional Registered Maine Guides. Big thanks to them for letting me use their pics to highlight this adventure!

The Allagash trip is suitable for any level of ability, from novice to advanced paddler - adventurers will receive excellent instruction in the most efficient handling of your canoe in varied water conditions. Beginners will learn fundamentals and the more experienced paddlers will learn to polish their skills. Plenty of time will be allotted for preparing to paddle the river.

All levels of yogis are welcome, no experience, no worries. Daily yoga and meditation practices will be at a level attainable for everyone, we’ll be breathing in the beauty and stretching out our paddling efforts. Campsites are primitive and beautiful, we’ll have plenty of time for relaxing, swimming, and exploring. Being outside at night is always exciting with lots of stargazing and storytelling.

The best part is that the adventure is all inclusive - yessss! All adventurers have to do is show up with their sleeping bag and maybe some clothes :)

Cost: $1,300. Adventurers can choose to either pay in full or put down a deposit to hold their spot. Please choose to add to cart below or payment is available via VENMO or a good ol’ check in the mail.

Join MYA to take on some crazy rapids whitewater rafting on the Dead River! Adventurers will stay overnight at an on-site inn reserved just for our crew where we’ll get in plenty of yoga and vegetarian food. On Sundayfunday we’ll visit Moxie Falls, one of Maine’s highest waterfalls with a near 100 ft drop!

A couple seasons ago we had a blast whitewater rafting the Kennebec River on a pretty mild run with a little zing here & there. This season we’re leveling up and getting some more excitement with the Dead…

Our guides will be from Magic Falls Rafting Company, a Maine family-owned company that have brought the magic for 32 years and counting. They describe the Dead River as the best wild whitewater adventure in New England - adventurers will cascade down 15 miles of almost continuous class II-V whitewater, in rapids like Spencer Rips, Elephant Rock, the Mine Field and the infamous Poplar Falls, the longest continuous rapid in Maine. This ride is going to be exhilarating - you’ll be signing yourself up for some very therapeutic screaming!

Post-whitewater, adventurers will have perfect placement along the banks of the Dead River for exiting rafts, chowing down, and our overnight stay. We’ll have chill out time as we enjoy a bbq provided by Magic Falls (w/ vegetarian options!) and check out a sweet slideshow of our escapades. Then we don’t have to go far for relaxation time on our deck, yoga outside and more yummy food; we’re staying at the inn located right on the property.

Adventurers will spread out into the old farmhouse that has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, a living room and of course the back deck and yard. MYA is hoping for some good stargazing in the nighttime and birding in the morning!

As we move on from our stay with Magic Falls, we’ve got some more magic falls coming our way with Moxie Falls located less than a ten minute drive from our site. Adventurers will hike a moderate out and back trail that is just two miles round trip.

We’ll encounter a series of wooden stairs and boardwalks providing access over the rugged terrain surrounding the falls. There are several wooden observation platforms providing a number of different looks at Moxie Stream's plunges.

We’ll take our time enjoying the scenery and playing in the falls as much as we can - let’s hope for fantastic weather so we can linger and appreciate the robust natural landscape.

MYA is known for wicked water playtime like our fun in Embden…

After snacking and messing about at the falls we may want to stop in at the Kennebec Brewery for Maine craft beer, a tour and maybe more eats! This may also be the perfect spot for beerga :)

Don’t miss out on an awesomely epic adventure in The Forks of Maine with the perfect combo of thrill & chill!

Cost: $225 includes whitewater rafting, bbq, vegetarian dinner, breakfast & snacks, overnight accommodations, outdoor yoga, and positive energy…
