In 1971 Prudy Westerberg ran a gift shop outside her family home in Fryeburg, Maine. She and her husband, Fred, had a canoe and decided to rent it out to visitors to use on the S**o River.

It was such a hit, the next year Fred, Prudy, and their business partner bought more canoes plus a kayak. In 1972 S**o River Canoe & Kayak was officially founded.

For 55 years, not much has changed. Inventory grew and as they became more popular tubes started to be available for rent, but most everything else stayed the same. Prudy still owns and runs SRCK with the help of her daughters, Beth and Chrissy. Reservations are taken by hand with pen and paper over the phone. And customers are greeted by the family dogs.

As our 2026 season starts up, we have decided to enter the modern age and offer online reservations. You can still call the office at 207-935-2369 or go to our website www.sacorivercanoe.com to book now!

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and newcomers seeking an adventure!
