New England’s Oldest Guided Canoe Service

Founded by Herb “Coach” Cochrane and his son Warren, Allagash Canoe Trips is the oldest continuously running guided canoe trip service in Maine. We preserve the best of traditional backwoods canoe-tripping methods combined with modern techniques and equipment that we’ve found to be effective.

Our guides bring decades of traditional wilderness experience, as well as national championship credentials in canoe sport — uniquely qualified to teach paddling, poling, and river-reading to trippers of every skill level. We take pride in our methods of cooperative, respectful existence in the natural world. Although we take little of modern civilization with us, our journey is free from needless hardship.
