We did the Kennebec River Rafting Full Day Raft and Full Day Funyak over the past weekend. It…read morewas wonderful!! We spend 2 nights in a cabin on the Moxie camp site - it had 4 full size beds (we only needed one) but it would be great for a larger group of people. It had a night sitting area with a kitchen table if you wanted to cook over the camp fire (because we were on vacation....I did not want to cook!!) So we bought the meal plan. It seems that most people buy the breakfast, lunch is on the river during the rafting trips and dinner seems to be skipped by most - but it is pretty solid and worth it!! The lunch was steak or chicken, pasta salad and the best baked beans ever!!! if you are looking for a veggie option - they make their own veggie burgers (they looked great and people loved them). The only thing I could ask for would have been dessert (but i have a sweet tooth!! - taller half could have cared less) The staff was outstanding - felt like family. Phil checked us in -(he is the do it all man...from driving the moose tour, the buses and fixing anything you need man) he was very friendly and helpful. We bought firewood (5 dollars for a good size bundle) from him - he set up our fire pit so all we had to do was light it! The camp has 4 bathrooms and 2 showers - they were clean and lots of light (there are no bathrooms in the cabins) no fear walking to them after the sunset. The first day we did a half of day white water rafting with Angela (she was wonderful!!) and Funyaked the 2nd half of the river. The second day we rafted the entire river with Randy (he was wonderful!!!) We were able to swim in the river, paddle our hearts out on class 4 rapids and enjoy a few lazy miles at the end of the river. We even saw a bald eagle along the river!!! The guides know what they are doing and really do their best to make sure you and the boat have the best time ever. We look forward to going back to Moxie in the future! And if you like the leaves as the change color - Moxie is a great way to have some fun while you see the wonderful colors!

Imagine this: Sipping hot cocoa as a team of huskies pulls you effortlessly along the shore of a…read moremoonlit lake - That's not this trip. Who goes dog sledding? I did last winter. It was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Although at one point, I thought I'd rather lye down in the woods and die than continue on - I'd do it again. The owner Steven meets you in the pitch-black parking lot of a rundown bakery (that for some reason doesn't have an address). You follow his truck deep into the woods of Abbot, Maine (a place that's barely on maps) and wonder if this website you found is actually an elaborate front for a cereal killer. You're suspicions do not subside when you climb into his truck and see that he's wearing a lightweight track suit - it's January, and nighttime, and below zero. Next thing you know he's pulling puppies from the back of his truck, and you're dodging dog tongues and sticking eager husky legs through harnesses. In two minutes time, you've been briefed on mushing your own dog team. You blink and Steven's taken off with his team, you're all alone, and it's your turn to follow. Any romantic ideas you had leave when you lose feeling in your toes or when you're pushing the sled up 90 degree hills ...or holding on for dear life down them...when your lead dog chases a rabbit off the trail and you spend the next 15 minutes untangling him... when you pound your complimentary hot chocolate to quench the thirst gained from running through snow banks for eight miles or to melt the ice crystals you can actually feel forming on your lungs... When your boyfriend, who is in much better shape than you are and doesn't smoke a pack a day groans when you summit a steep root-covered hill only to find another steeper rootier one in its place. Don't let the "Moonlit Memories" package fool you - this trip is more outward bound than romantic interlude. The owner doesn't hold your hand. He keeps ahead and lets you do your own thing. It's fun in the way I imagine it'd be fun to be shipwrecked but then build a raft that floats you home. The website says this trip is has a difficulty level of easy to moderate - that's debatable. What isn't is that this was an amazing experience, and even though my boyfriend and I didn't gaze into each other's eyes the whole time - we were too busy swearing, laughing, and wheezing - it's a cool exercise in team work and, to some degree, survival. My advice: The owner is cool, don't worry. Actually read the pre-sledding instructions he sends you, but don't let them frighten you away. And, if you aren't accustomed to running for long periods of time - prepare to get your ass kicked.

For the last ten years I've been going to the Caribbean for winter break. This year, even though…read morewe've had record snow, I decided to change things up and head North. I chose Greenville Maine because of Moosehead lake. I wanted to be in the biggest town that had ample lodging and recreational facilities. I'm pleased to say I made the right choice. I only had three days to spend and today was dedicated to dog-sledding. Let me make it clear that I'm not particularly hearty nor athletic. Our guides and our dogs were all charming and a pleasure to be with. They were actually the perfect guides for me: they cheerfully responded to any question and pointed out sites of interest. But, if you wanted to be quiet they were quiet too. The day started out with a very informative safety primer and instructions. We got to help harness the dogs distract them while Stephen and Zach got everything else set up - then off we went. It was fast and furious at first but settled down to a lovely ride. There were some Youza moments along the way to keep you on the edge of your sled and some beautiful scenery. Over 95% of the ride was on trails that did not allow snowmobiles - only cross country skiers. I'm 60, over-weight and out of shape. In other words, if I can do it, you can do it. Since we spent a full day we stopped at an off-the-grid lodge for a delicious lunch served by really nice people. I never felt like we were being rushed and at the end of a long day Stephen took us on a ride through town, since we hadn't seen much of it yet. Overall a wonderful treat - I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We had a great time fishing on the Kennebec last weekend. It was a beautiful day - not too hot, not…read moretoo cold, and it was so relaxing drifting down the river and casting for bass. We were in two rafts - Mike and Garrett were our guides. We argued after the trip who had the better guide - both were very knowledgeable, patient, and fun. I was particularly grateful to Mike for the attention he gave my daughter - who wasn't all that sure about fishing! He made sure that she caught some fish, and helped her with how and where to cast to find fish. We shared a good laugh when a fish slipped out of her hands, right into her sweater pocket!! A great day on the Kennebec - we will definitely be back!!

Unfortunately, it's been several years now and while it pains me to say this, Spencer Pond Camp has completely lost everything that once made it so special. This used to be my favorite place in the world. We visited every year, often multiple times, for a decade. It was a peaceful retreat with cozy cabins tucked into the woods, where you'd wake up to the sound of loons, occasionally spot a moose wandering through camp and truly feel immersed in nature. The grounds were beautiful, simple and thoughtfully cared for. We looked forward to visiting all year. Our last visit was heartbreaking to say the least. The natural beauty and serenity have been replaced with clutter, visible trash EVERYWHERE and a general sense of neglect. A large communal building was constructed right in the middle of camp, changing the feel of the property and we listened to construction noise for hours during our stay. After that came the sound of a generator from Glens cabin (against the rules, according to him), his dog off leash (also against rules) repeatedly wandering into our cabin area which upset our dogs, and an overwhelming smell from an unkempt chicken area. The dock area with a kayak/canoe rack as broken and just left there in pieces. The camp yard is no longer a place you want to hang out, rather just quickly walk past to get to your cabin. Glen claims to be a Maine guide, someone you'd expect to have a deep respect for the outdoors and for preserving places like this. He clearly doesn't respect nature or this place at all. I hope no critters eat any of the garbage left around. It feels like the camp has been treated as someone's personal property rather than the quiet wilderness retreat so many people fell in love with. Looking back at old photos honestly breaks my heart. We no longer feel it's worth the long drive or the cost and I SINCERELY hope things change someday and he takes note of the "regulars" who are no longer visit, and why. This place deserves so much better than what it has become. I only hope that someday it will be restored to the beautiful, peaceful place so many of us fell in love with.

Our guide Tim was great, he was very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and made us feel safe while still having a blast. The rapids were fun, the food was surprisingly good, all in all a good time. I take away one star because, while Tim was excellent, a few of the other guides seemed to have attitudes. One spoke sharply to me and my friend, as well as to several other guests. I know they do this trip every day, but it shouldn't be that hard to put on a happy face while guests are around. This took away from the experience a bit because it made us feel like we were inconveniencing them, but overall I give a good review because it was VERY fun and Tim was a great guide. There was another guide, I think his name was Dalton, that was very funny and cheerful and had a great attitude.
