Canoe Camping at Lake Umbagog in NH

[@jenb.6440]

Thank you! We're going next week with our canoe

[@RachelWhelton]

Oh, awesome! I have some reservations there for the end of the summer. It's such a cool place! Even if you are all set, it might be good to call them and say hello because, for example, we did not know before hand they sometimes have a taxi option (I think you pay for it) where the guy shuttles people and their kayaks out to their site. Can't remember if they deliver firewood... But they are very nice and might give you tips on the phone to make your trip even better.

The landscape is beautiful in the rain and fog. You captured it woderfully.

[@RachelWhelton]

Thank you.

Thanks for another great video of your adventures. I am a fellow New Hampshirite and look forward to visiting many of these wonderful gems now that I am getting back to camping.

[@RachelWhelton]

Welcome aboard! It is definitely good to know what is out there so you can match the right location to the right time of year. Each place seems different in each season.

Thank you for sharing!

I keep postponing my camping plans due to weather and rain. I might not after watching this video. Beautiful video as usual

[@RachelWhelton]

I know the feeling! My hike yesterday ended up happening in the rain. And my next adventure has a dismal forecast as well. When will summer dry up?!

I got a camp out on the maine side of the lake also camped at that site years ago when I was a teen working for the u.s fish and wildlife site

[@RachelWhelton]

Interesting. I want to check out the Maine side of the lake.

I'm actually doing a solo camp on site #7 coming up in August. Love this lake!

[@RachelWhelton]

Oh that is cool. I want to go back!

[@pgreenx]

I look forward to your videos to get new ideas for camping. This looks like a great place. Thanks Ps- you have to get one of those battery powered sleeping Mat inflators!

[@RachelWhelton]

Umbagog was worth going to again. Husband thought it was less "remote" than he expected. But I liked the balance between access to civilization and being removed from people. Not hearing other voices is excellent. Only loons!

[@pgreenx]

@@RachelWhelton thanks. Will put it on my list

[@jeffpiester3221]

Doesn’t it figure that it’s perfect weather when you are leaving!

[@RachelWhelton]

Yeah and the next day was booked so I hope those people showed up to enjoy their lucky weather.

An old timer once told me, some days you get chicken and some days you get feathers.

[@jeffpiester3221]

Hi. This looks like a fantastic place to camp. Curious about where you bought the canvas that covered your cooking/eating area.

Check out the links in the video description 👍

My mom gave me an Amazon gift card and I used it as the perfect time to buy a dedicated rain tarp and upgraded straps. That company, Wise Owl, has a bunch of items.

Hey! How did you reserve the canoes and Campsites. We are trying to plan this trip but cannot seem to find a reservation website for the canoes.

[@RachelWhelton]

We brought our own canoe. If they have rentals available, you would ask in their camp office, which is probably the normal phone. I'm not sure if they have online reservations. They were very nice in the office when I called with a lot of questions before visiting there.
