The paddling was more difficult than I expected, but Dan was great about guiding me down the stretches I was struggling through. He was extremely knowledgeable about Maine ecology and history, sharing information and stories with us as we made our way down the river. The campsites all were beautiful. Dinner and breakfast cooked over an open fire every day, with an impressive and delicious menu. This trip was definitely a splurge for our family, but well worth it. I would highly recommend a trip with Smoking Rivers if you find yourself in the Bangor area.

They put together great river trips, with home cooked meals over an open fire that rival what many home cooks do with a fully equipped kitchen. They provide the tents, canoes, paddles, etc. you just need to bring your spirit of adventure! Their packing list gets you ready for whatever the weather may be. They teach the canoeing moves you need, and adapt their teaching to the level of their clients. Safety is first but not in a way that feels oppressive. They are terrific!

Incredible hard worker, it's a one man show. Be patient, if he's got 2 or 3 customers. Very knowledgeable on firearms, especially older guns. Usually has unique old firearms for sale on Gun Broker with honest pictures and descriptions. Honest, fair businessman.

Here's the thing - I don't consider myself a fisherman but I do like fishing. I love being out on…read morethe water and enjoying nature. I love the feeling of that first bite and the thrill of fighting a big fish. What I don't like is the pressure that can come with some guided trips; to always catch more, bigger, better. Don't get me wrong, Megan will put you on fish and she is always up for intense, technical trips if that's what you are looking for. However, she is also up for more casual fishing and is forever patient. Under her guidance I caught my first fish on the fly and got to explore some of the prettiest country Maine has to offer. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Megan. No matter what your fishing style is, she can take you on a great adventure!

My family and I were wanting to do some fun activity and came across Island Green Golf Center. But…read morewhen we got here, the place seemed to be called Traditions Golf Center. The young staffer had no idea what or if the place had switched owners and the name or not. There is a Pat's Pizza attached, and Gifford's ice cream too. We chose to play Mini Golf, and they have the course set up as a 27 (!) hole course. I believe that it may have been really three nine-hole courses based on how the holes were designated in the concrete. The course has a many similar holes with a lot of sloping which caused my group to max out a bunch of times. But, we also had some holes-in-one for those who were lucky. My son "won," followed by a tie for mom and dad, and then my daughter, my dad, and lastly his wife. She, however, was one of the holes-in-one playing Happy Gilmore style pushing the ball with the putter like a hockey stick much to the chagrin of my son when it actually worked well. The teen staffers were out and about using a leaf blower to clean the course, and one hole had the astroturf completely replaced just before we played on it. A lot of brick curbing was loose so watch your steps! The main water feature also was not operative. Everyone on the course (and there were quite a few) was well behaved and respected the people ahead of them. Staffers in the clubhouse wore masks and the sign said anyone vaccinated didn't need one but everyone else did. There is a single hoop basketball court for customer use and although they advertise having go karts and we did see the course, they too were not running. $54 for six to play golf reduced to $48 with a law enforcement discount. We did not stay to eat, and it took a couple of hours to get through 27 holes with all of us. I bet a lot just stay and eat after. If it were very sunny, we would have all been burnt to a crisp; wear sunscreen as there's no coverings on the course. This was a nice way to spend a couple of hours with the family doing a fun vacation activity.

For a 2 man crew they keep it well kept. 9 hole course but we usually play blue tees first then white tees. Fun course!
