Under Multiple Use Management
These pages are designed as a useful tool to inform the public what is available, and how best to access what is here. This is information that was supplied to me by Rod Sirois from Northern Hideaway Camps. Please look at all the rules and regulations here before contacting the North Maine Woods Association. I believe you will find most of what you are looking for right here.
Registration
Everyone who uses the St. John River is expected to register. Those traveling by vehicle will pass through a North Maine Woods checkpoint and will be registered at that time. Those who fly in to Fifth St. John Pond or Baker Lake will either be registered by the flying service or by one of the North Maine Woods attendants on the river. Fees will be collected at the time of registration.
Water Conditions Are Important
The St. John River usually provides adequate water for canoeing during the month of May and into the first of June. How late in the summer good canoeing is possible depends on winter snow cover, temperature and rainfall.
The North Maine Woods' office receives daily readings on the water level of the river. The minimum for good canoeing, in our judgment, is 3,000 cubic feet per second at the Dickey gauging station. Less than this amount will result in grounding out or portaging much of the way. We suggest that you call us a day or so before you leave. Our number is (207) 435-6213.
