Canoeing / Whitewater Rafting

      Are you looking for calm, serene waters, roaring rapids or a combination of both? Whether it be an adventure on the West Branch of the Penobscot, the East Branch of the Penobscot or a trip into Baxter Park's remote ponds, the Katahdin Region has it all!

     The St. John River runs along Maine's remote northwest corner and is the longest and wildest free flowing stretch of river in the east. Expect plenty of white water and solitude along the l20 miles which begins at 5th St. John Pond and continues north to Allagash Village. For over 25 years, Katahdin Outfitters has served parties traveling to the "North Maine Woods". Their base is located at Millinocket Lake which is directly on the major access route to the area. This area of several million acres of public and privately owned undeveloped wilderness contains the headwaters of the Allagash, St. John, and Penobscot Rivers, with access to Baxter State Park , the Appalachian Trail, and West Branch Region.

     Whitewater enthusiasts have the thrill of a lifetime awaiting them in the Katahdin Region. With several rafting companies based in the Millinocket - Katahdin area, daily trips on Maine's premier whitewater rivers are the norm. Professional Guides provide guests with a thorough safety orientation and all equipment is furnished. Buses transport guests to the river and the fun really begins.

Fishing / Hunting

    Adobe Motel patrons are able to walk from the motel to some of the best small mouth bass fishing in the area on Dolby Flowage just off the lower section of the West Branch. Fast action and the bend of your rod is what you will find here. Three to four pound fish are plentiful in this river system and will deliver an unforgettable battle. Don't know your way around and want to get to those prime spots? Let Lakes Edge Guide Service get you there so all you have to do is concentrate on that big one!

     With the coming of autumn comes the September bear season and the November deer season. To sit in a stand in late afternoon or early evening during this time of year can both be relaxing and exciting. Just to listen to the sounds of nature can be rewarding. The distant squirrel, a grouse drumming on a log, the mice rustling through the leaves below your stand makes you feel one with nature. As you look up you notice that black bear or that 200 pound buck has approached your stand and you wonder where he came from. This is when the excitement starts. Lakes Edge Guide Service located on Millinocket Lake, is a professional guide service that can provide you with an opportunity of returning home with a trophy.
