A MOOSE SAFARI
GUIDE TO THE MOOSEHEAD LAKE REGION • Bangor Daily News Special Advertising Section • July 15, 2022 03 ADVENTURE AWAITS AT THIS “OUTDOOR RESORT”
IF YOU’VE TRAVELED through the
Moosehead Lake Region, you’ve most likely driven by Northeast Whitewater Lodge & Guide Service in Shirley Mills. Though it is not located centrally in Greenville, there is always something going on at the base. From whitewater rafting on the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers, to daily moose tours and hiking excursions led by your personal Registered Maine Guides.
When driving by at a quick glance, passersby are unable to see what lies beyond the lodge, tucked back in the woods. However, if you stop by to say hello you will find a retail shop filled with many items unique to Northeast Whitewater, a small intimate campground with glamping yurts and tent sites and an outdoor pavilion with people all around.
Serving as a sort of “Outdoor Resort” all of the guests staying at the Northeast Whitewater Campground are also taking part in one or multiple daily activities. As many know, the Moosehead Lake Region is an outdoor playground. Northeast Whitewater gives its guests the opportunity to explore the hidden wonders of the region without worry of losing their way along with some additional information surrounding the rich history that encompasses Moosehead Lake, the log drives, and even the B-52 crash site. The most popular stay and play package is the Surf and Turf package. This grants guests 10% off of both their whitewater rafting and a moose tour activities.
Although helping plan family vacations is a major part of what Northeast Whitewater does, it is not the only thing offered. Outdoor education and programs are two major components of day-to-day operations at Northeast. Wilderness First Aid, Swiftwater Rescue, Whitewater Guide Training, Maine Recreational Guides Courses, as well as whitewater kayaking and canoeing courses are just a few of the educational opportunities available! From family vacations to outdoor educational pursuits, Northeast Guide Service provides opportunities for everyone to enjoy all aspects of the North Maine Woods and beyond!
