Caribou to Fort Fairfi eld on the Aroostook River
This is about a 13 mile trip that will take 4 to 5 hours to complete.
This trip is great for beginning paddlers.
Put in at Caribou at the public boat launch off Lower Lyndon
Street across from Sleepers Store on Route 1, MAG 65 B1.
This trip will take you through a mix of rural forests and farmland.
At times, the channel is very close to the river banks. Canoeing is
possible in the spring and early summer and kayaks should be used
during the summer months. Expect gentle water with some easy
rips along the way.
The river parallels Rt. 161, but it is still a scenic trip. Good brook
trout fi shing can be had early in the season.
Your take out point will be the Fort Fairfi eld boat landing at the
Route1A Bridge, MAG 65 C4.
