A friend recently went tubing down the Saco River and reminded me of the time my wife and I joined my brother’s family on a canoe trip. We all tented out at Woodland Acres Campground in Brownfield, Maine, Friday night. The next morning, a shuttle van with trailer came through the campground picking up canoes while we ate breakfast. We then boarded the van for the drive about 10 miles up river where we all put in for the ride back downriver to the campground. It was mostly a pretty casual float down the river with one very short section of “white water”. You could portage around it but all you really had to do was just let the current take you through. We stopped a few times to stretch our legs and to eat our packed lunch. When we got back to the campground, we left our canoes on the shore and they were eventually delivered back to our campsites. There are several canoe, kayak, and tubing rental places along the Saco River in New Hampshire and Maine.
