Maine Audubon invites you to spend about 90 glorious minutes paddling around Scarborough Marsh as you experience the sights and sounds of its inhabitants beneath the full moon or during a lovely Maine sunset. You’ll keep an eye out for black-crowned night herons and snowy egrets, and if luck is on your side, you could encounter a harbor seal or muskrat living their best life in the water. Book your slot by giving them a ring at (207) 883-5100. Life jackets, canoes, paddles and a tour guide are all included.
