It’s still only May but it looks and feels like summer around the Mount Washington Valley and on the Saco River. Air temps are around the 80s and water temps are in the mid to upper 60s. These conditions are more typical of July than late May. So, with summer conditions comes the first Saco…
Water levels on the Saco River can vary quite a bit depending on which section you choose to paddle and the overall conditions of the season. As we get later into the summer months and early fall, river levels tend to be at the lowest point. Not to worry, however, there is plenty of good…
Here it is, Labor Day Weekend and the big storm has come and gone. Irene packed a punch and certainly left her mark. The Saco reached some of the highest levels in years. There are many segments of river that are now very good for recreational paddling, however. One of the best sections is the…
Why don’t more people go skiing in the spring? The sun is high, temps are usually great for outdoor activity and the snow is soft. Why more people don’t ditch the big, puffy parka, head to the hills, and rip some big GS turns on the corn snow is beyond me. Such is the case…

So nice that spring is here. Well, I think it’s spring anyway. The Saco remains a bit high and cold from snowmelt up around Mount Washington and the Presidentials. Don’t worry, however, the warm days that we all love on the Saco River tubing, kayaking, and just hanging out are not too far away. ON…

It was a great weekend for Saco River Trips. The river is at a great level for canoeing & kayaking. It’s still a little chilly for Saco River Tube trips as of yet. We did get a little taste of summer. Air temps were in the upper 70s and temps near 50. There are some…
