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're already making plans for next year to return.

True wilderness camping in the great north of NH. I do want to mention that we camped with a 18 ft. rPod camper trailer and had no issues at all with access to a good choice of beautiful well kept sites. I read a few negative comments that make no sense to me. Everybody is different I guess. One of the best camping experiences we've ever had.

The drive to it along ME 26 was beautiful, despite the intense and brutal heat on the day of our first visit. There are roadside turnouts for both Mother Walker Falls and Screw Auger Falls; the water flow at the falls was markedly curtailed due to the current drought conditions. You'll find signage that explains this area's glacial and geologic history. The trails leading to the waterfalls are short and well-marked, with uneven rock and forest flooring. Tip: Apparently Screw Auger Falls is so named because it looks as like someone took a giant auger and drilled large quantities of rock out of this quite sizable granite rock formation formation Tip: Dogs are allowed here for no additional fee. They're permitted throughout the park and on the trails; but not on the beaches I totally enjoyed everything I saw here on my first visit, and have already gone back a week ago. I expect to make visiting this very special destination a regular habit :-)

And, I don't know, you don't forget that do you? Screw Auger Falls - Anytime I get the chance to play on rocks and waterfalls, I'm going to! The Bear River has areas of expansive smooth rocks that may or may not be accessible (depends on how much water is flowing). On one side, there's a tinier waterfall; the other side, the gorge where Screw Auger spills down. The rocks here are so interestingly carved and worn because of the years and years (and years) of water washing over them. Mother Walker Falls Turnout - I think this is where The Abandoned Road is, an interesting stone stairway, a wee cave, and some information about "this section of Bear River in the deep gorge below is called Mother Walker Falls. Roaring over broken rocks and falling into little pools, the river gradually drops a total of 98 feet." You can't see much because of the density of the trees. Moose Cave - This is a 1/4 mile loop of mostly packed surface, stairs, some boardwalks and planks, and a few steep drop-offs. There's a reindeer moss garden before Moose Cave which was formed when a great slab of granite broke away from the mountainside. Supposedly at some point an unlucky moose got trapped here. Eyebrow Trail/Table Rock - So now we get to some hiking. I did some research that suggested Table Rock (2380°, 2.4 miles; specifically going orange to blue to white [AT]) was slightly easier than Eyebrow (2600°, 2.1 miles; specifically going orange to white [AT]). Either way, you get to spend some time on the AT, and some folks are here just to step foot, snap a photo, and move on. We decided to do Eyebrow Trail and it was one of the toughest hikes I've ever been on in the best way possible; it ignited a passion in me I didn't know I had! There were areas where you had to scale the mountainside with an iron cable bolted into the ground; other areas where you had to climb vertically on a rock surface via an iron ladder. The summit's views reminded me of areas of the Highlands in Scotland; and, I don't know that I've ever smelled pine so raw and cold and crisp before. I will never forget this hike; maybe sometime I can come back and do Old Speck (4180°)! Spruce Meadow Turnout - We stopped here to have lunch. If you walk a little further then where most of the picnic tables are, there's a lone table facing an expanse of stunning mountain. It's a good place to have a good meal with a good friend. Scenic Turnout - There's not much that here, a trio of signs/placards that talk about the area. What a beautiful Maine spot this is!

We released all of these wild fish. Our server in the lodge where we had dinners was named Sydney & she was charming and we really looked forward to our meals.

It says that they have tent sites and I guess they do, though there is not much space at most. It is set up very well for ATVs and RVs with water and electric at most sites. They have some lean to sites as well and this is where our story goes a bit weary. We booked months ago for a lean to site along the pristine swift river in Byron. A week before we knew bad weather was to come, so we asked if there was any way to swap sites to a flat ground site. The answer was no that they were booked up. I believed that, as it was a weekend. However many many sites round us stayed empty for the entirety of our trip. We had a very uneven, root and rock filled site. Our site was L16 and it was right in the river, just 30 feet down, and it also had its own small river running right through the middle of camp. It was a very very wet stay, even though it only rained a few times. It said one 8X8 flat spot for a tent, but there was none. We ended up with two extra people and it cost me another 100$ then when we booked originally and they charged us for 2 tent spots too, when they knew we where in a spot that didn't have that. The lady at the office with dark long hair has a bit of an attitude. So we didn't want to have to ask for much, we had to park our extra car and trailer behind the office. Also making trips back and forth as need be. She's abrasive and doesn't seem like she's happy to be there..... the place is in a beautiful spot, but beware. A few sites have parking quite a ways from sites themselves. These sites will have you walking back and forth to your vehicle quite frequently. They do warn you on the website which sites are best but photos can be misleading. Some of the lean to sites, seemed to have flat ground, and they looked real nice to say at. All in all we did the best we could with a crappy and wet situation. I really think they could have accommodated us and switched our sites to one on flat ground, since almost all around us were empty. It's in a beautiful part of our state, but I don't think we will be back. We will opt for something a bit closer to things, as Byron was a good 30-45 mins either way.

There is also a very nice walking path that winds down along the river, which made the stay even better. It is a peaceful place, well kept, and easy to navigate. We would definitely stay at Timberland again.

We got together here with most of our grown kids and their families this year. There are sites ranging from basic tent sites up to spaces for very large RVs, as well as cabins that go from "4 walls" rustic to a few that are almost a hotel room with a full bathroom, shower, air conditioning, and kitchenette. There is a playground for the young kids, access to a nice field in the back, kayaking, picnic and fishing areas along the river. There's railroad tracks that run through the back of the campground and a train often goes through at night. It's close and very loud and impressive, and while it may bother some people we looked forward to it coming through. The cabins we visited were very clean and well maintained as were all the bathrooms and the showers. The little campground store seemed to have everything you are likely to forget when you leave home. The real highlight of this place is the owners, who are some of the nicest people you can come across. They are pleasant and welcoming and went to great lengths to make our visits enjoyable. If you're looking for a deep wilderness-like experience this is probably not the place for you, but it doesn't pretend to be that. It's a really nice family friendly spot to spend some time, with plenty of stuff to keep the kids entertained.
