Planning Your Trip

The Royal River Water Trail connects by water to the Maine Island Trail in Casco Bay, and by land to Yarmouth’s West Side Trail and the shoreline paths of Royal River Park.

The Water Trail is best experienced as a series of day trips, with the best overnight options at local inns or campgrounds. There are campsites for boaters at Lanes Island at the mouth of the Royal River. Maine Forest Yurts on Runaround Pond is a delightful overnight destination.

Day trip options include flat water paddling for youth or novices with no necessary car shuttle. Other options for experts only include exciting white water under the right conditions.

Caution

All rivers require attention to safety. Paddling conditions vary according to weather and season, so always exercise caution and always wear a life jacket. With good judgement and proper equipment, risks can be reduced. Respect the natural world and the rights of landowners along the river, and be considerate of other outdoor enthusiasts. Please avoid causing erosion, trampling vegetation, disturbing wildlife, or harming water quality. Always respect private landowners and “posted” (no trespassing) signs. Please remember that it is always illegal and dangerous to walk on any rail line or rail trestle.

Leave No Trace: Carry-In-Carry Out

Please plan to pack out your own trash as well as any left by others to improve the experience for everyone.
