About Ledge & Tide

What this site is

Ledge & Tide is an independent information site about outdoor adventure in Maine: hiking, parks, whitewater, sea and lake paddling, seasons and safety. It is written to help you understand a place before you plan a trip.

What it is not

It is not a tour operator, outfitter, guide service, park authority or booking agent, and it is not affiliated with any of them, with any government agency or with any earlier website. It sells nothing, takes no bookings and publishes no prices, trips or reviews.

How to use it

Treat the guides as a starting point. Rules, permits, fees, closures, river releases and conditions change, and outdoor activities carry real risk. Always confirm details with the official park, agency or land manager, and make your own decisions about what is safe for you and your group.

Corrections

The pages aim to stay general and checkable. If a fact on a page has gone out of date, trust the official source over this site.
