One of the earliest written descriptions of the Aroostook is from an 1829 survey map by D. Coffin and G. Rose, where they called the Aroostook "The Beautiful River". Although the rest of the world has changed, the Aroostook retains it's beauty.

For our May, 2009 trip we'll put in at Chase lake and paddle to Little Munsungan lake, then spend a day exploring Norway Bluff. Norway Bluff is famous for it's stone, which was used by natives for flintknapping stone tools and arrow heads. Then we'll head down Munsungan Stream to the confluence with Millinocket Stream, where we'll pole upstream, through the Devil's Elbow, and into Millamagassett Lake for a layover day of fishing, exploring and camp crafts. We'll head back downstream to the Aroostook River with an optional trip up Mooseleuk Stream. The trip ends at the Bushcraft & Sustainability Field School on the banks of the river in Masardis.
