Equipment needs are minimal for Chop Point trips. Backpackers require only a light sleeping bag and hiking shoes. Bikes may be rented locally if campers do not bring their own. Those who sign up for canoe trips might want to bring a waterproof bag for their sleeping bag and clothes. Rain gear is recommended for all campers.
Safety is top priority.
By Maine State law each trip must include a trained, certified trip leader. Chop Point teaches our staff the state-mandated course as part of their training. Lifejackets are a part of all waterfront activities. Whenever possible, a cellular telephone is taken along. Cyclists would be hard-pressed to find more scenic rural roads, rolling hills and coastal scenery than in Maine.
