The St. John River in northern Maine is one of the last of New England's great free-running waterways. Canadian fur traders traveled it in bark canoes in the 18th and 19th centuries. No longer a commercial route, the St. John is in every other respect unchanged. Remote and awesome, it flows through healthy forests and uncrowded, undeveloped lands filled with wildlife.
This incomparable setting will be home to Machias travelers for nine days, as we canoe, explore, and absorb the power of this great river.
