    Question about Maine backcountry camping

    I've searched the internet but I can't seem to find anything about backcountry/dispersed camping on public lands in ME. Are you restricted to camping only in established sites?

    Hey from Western PA!

    Hello! I'm been lurking for a few weeks now so I thought I'd join the group. My wife and I have been paddling for 50+ years but we didn't really have boat control skills until about 20 years ago when we joined 3 Rivers Paddling club and learned just how little we knew for those 1st 30 years.
