After some online searching, we decided to check out Highland Lake due to the proximity to Portland, boat launch for easy access to the water, and available parking. And what a wonderful decision this was!! When we arrived, there was plenty of parking still available and just a short walk of muscling the canoe to the water. Once we got out onto the lake we saw a variety of water activities: kayaking, fishing, boating, tubing, waterskiing, & jet skiing. Although there were quite a bit of people and activity on the lake, it is definitely large enough to peacefully canoe and still feel immersed in the nature surrounding you.

We met Tanner at the Maranacook Lake (North) Boat Launch parking lot. We did the 1/2 days rental ($35 a boat) which included delivery and pick up of the kayaks.

Highly recommend.

This review is on the kayak rentals. The staff is great. No, make that fantastic. From reservation to drop off you will experience nothing but pleasurable and experienced people. Call to make a reservation. Get there 1/2 hr before the van leaves to drop you off. It leaves every hour. It was my fist time kayaking (or being in any non motor boat for that matter) and I brought my 6 and 7 year olds and my husband with me. We chose tandem kayaks. $65 each kayak and includes life jackets and the van ride upstream. Parent in the back, little one in the front. My little one did not want an oar and without a partner it is a little difficult to navigate the parts with the stronger currents...my kayak kept going down stream backwards but this was a great learning experience because I very quickly, in 15 minutes, figured out how to use that paddle to steer and keep it straight. So even if you've never paddled a boat before and even if you have a little one with you...you can do this! We didn't want it to end. We stopped at a tiny island for a picnic. The scenery is beautiful and it is quite along the river. We did the 4 mile route but next time we'd do the 10 mile route. I think it took 1 1/2hr even with the short picnic break.

We can't wait for another trip through River Runners. Oh and the support staff at the end bringing the canoes back up to the garage work their tails off. Love the hustle and work ethic they brought !! Well done!!
