Dorcas Miller explored every inch of Maine's rocky coast to produce what
has become the indispensable resource for anyone who launches a kayak in
Maine's coastal waters. In this completely updated edition, she has once
again scoured the shore from south to north for the latest information
on launch sites, mainland and island accessibility, historic sites, and
natural areas. Paddlers at all levels will appreciate the detailed
information for planning day trips and multi-day expeditions.
Here you'll find maps, diagrams, and photographs; trip suggestions;
information on tides, currents, safety considerations and danger zones;
tips on low-impact paddling; an overview of Maine's coastal flora and
fauna; a list of salt-water campgrounds; and an inventory of guide
services, rentals, and sea kayaking programs.
Forts and lighthouses, dramatic cliffs and stunning pocket beaches,
granite-rimmed islands and half-tide ledges await your discovery.
