Our group will embark on a paddling adventure along the eastern shore of Penobscot Bay in a 26 ft voyageur canoe. There will be many opportunities to explore and learn about the local geology and marine biology as the group paddles its way through the Merchant Row island chain. Ascending the sheer granite walls of Otter Cliffs, we will experience some of the best rock climbing east of the Rocky Mountains. The finale of our journey will be a transit hike in Acadia National Park that will take the group along a trail that crosses two mountain peaks, skirts numerous remote bogs and ends at the Atlantic for a refreshing swim. The schedule will leave time to enjoy local culture and a visit to Bar Harbor!
