Column: Scarborough Marsh a unique paddling experience

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • July 13, 2026

For paddlers looking for a unique, scenic kayak or canoe trip, Scarborough Marsh in southern Maine is a good choice. The 3,100-acre estuary is the largest salt marsh in Maine. Passage through the marsh seems a maze as it twists and turns. At different times, paddlers can be facing any direction on the compass. A very entertaining day of paddling in a truly exceptional setting. ~ Ron Chase
