If You Go

Best Time to Visit: Mid-June through September, with weather improving in August.

Guides/Outfitters: Several companies serve the Damariscotta River region, including Midcoast Kayak (207-563-5732; www.midcoastkayak.com).

Level of Difficulty: Paddles in the more sheltered sections of the river are fine for less seasoned paddlers; offshore paddles are only recommended for more advanced kayakers.
