This is the place to come to learn whitewater kayaking, take a canoe trip or go whitewater rafting in a pristine, uncrowded setting with excellent fishing and camping, including trips into the Umbagog Lake National Wildlife Area. Canoe rentals and camping are available. Magalloway River-Umbagog Lake National Wildlife Refuge Just above the Errol Dam, there is a vast easily accessible lake and river area that encompasses the The Magalloway River and Umbagog Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Northern Waters can rent you either canoes or touring kayaks for trips in this beautiful wilderness area.
