Impressive accomplishment and excellent documentary photography. Very fortunate wind wise, I don't think I've ever paddled that far on lakes without encountering wind and waves along the way.

Why would you rush thru such a beautiful area? I canoe to enjoy and appreciate the wilderness and never for "the fastest time". But if that's what you do, go for it. To each their own.

Nice job so showcasing the KWW. I love the beaver sightings and the fall foliage. You inspired me to get back up there this winter for a cross country ski. I had the pleasure of seeing the Tekakapimek Lodge this week, which is stunning and a strong tribute to the Wabanaki people. I recommend going back there to see it in its completed state. It's absolutely gorgeous. The birch bark canoe hand made by Jason and floor engraving of the waters around the Penobscot is amazing. I'll keep following you and share with my friends!

Love that area. I have yet to explore the new park but have been in the South Western part. We hiked from the North Katahdin lake Lean-to into the to Orin's falls on the Wassataquoik stream. Just spent 5 days at the Upper South Branch Lean-to. Beautiful, but brutal weather last weekend. Keep up the nice posts!

The only problem I see is putting the canoe that far in the water when first starting outside when you're loading on a river. 99.9% of my canoe trips are on rivers not lakes. So for me, it's load some things, push a little in the water, load a little more and so on.

Seeing this gives me so much nostalgia, I haven’t been there for over ten years but I recognized so many trails immediately. I’m glad Saddleback got things sorted out&hope to ride up there this winter. Sarges is an amazing spot also, used to love going downtown when we’d be up at the cabin summer or winter.

I have AT gear and always wondered if there was anything above the lifts that was worth the trip, so to speak. Doesn't look like much that would be enjoyable to ski back down. Your video skips the ski down from the false summit. The uphill from the lifts looks like you could boot pack it just as easy as skin it if you were not interested in going any farther than the false summit. In contrast, Sugarloaf has snow fields that are skiable and a back side that is steep and a bit of an adventure to ski.

There is a much shorter portage around the Kings Mills Dam on the river right about 100 yds above the dam through a small parking area, Kings Mill Rd. waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/01038000/#parameterCode=00060&period=P7D&showMedian=false.

Quick tip for the next time you portage at night. With some larger waist band elastic or similar, you can carry your head lamp around your chest or belly. That way there is no dark shadow from the canoe and you’re not blinded by the reflection of the canoe.

I always recommend a helmet to protect from potential head injury if/when you fall on the ice, which is somewhat inevitable regardless of skill level. I wear a downhill ski helmet. And agree you might want to re-mount your bindings to be centered on the blades.
