HOME ABOUT US CANOE & KAYAK RENTALS TUBE RENTALS RATES RESERVATIONS (207) 935-2369 About Us RESERVATIONS About Us WELCOME TO SACO RIVER CANOE & KAYAK, WITH YOUR HOSTS, THE WESTERBERG FAMILY Home of the best canoeing, kayaking and tubing on Maine and New Hampshire’s Saco River, Saco River Canoe & Kayak was started 50 years ago by the Westerberg family with only one canoe. Today, we boast a large fleet of canoes, kayaks and tubes and a variety of trips for all ages and physical abilities. While our company has grown over the years, our goal has always remained the same: to provide our customers a unique, safe and truly memorable experience on Maine’s pristine and beautiful Saco River. The Saco River’s headwaters originate from the purest waters of Mt. Washington in Crawford Notch, NH and travels 136 miles, emptying out at Saco, ME into the Gulf of Maine. While the northern part of the Saco is rocky and rapid, the section from the lower part of Conway, NH from Fryeburg to Brownfield, ME is exceptionally sandy. With plenty of great beaches, we offer a variety of trips ranging from a peaceful day-paddle to a weekend camping canoe trip. Trips can range from one hour to a couple of days. One of the founders, Fred Westerberg, suddenly passed away in the winter of 2019. Fred, a registered Maine guide, was one of biggest advocates for conservation and proper recreational use along the Saco River. He was a co-founder of the Saco River Recreational Council, a group who’s goal is to preserve the beauty of the Saco River for generations to come. While Fred is no longer with us, his values of preservation, safety and customer satisfaction are still ingrained in our company.
