Here's a dream sea kayaking trip that's not in traditional sea kayaking territory, but the heart of northern U.S. canoe country. Spanning the Northeast from the Adirondacks to the Maine/New Brunswick border and dipping into Canada at Lake Memphremagog in Quebec, this is the Appalachian Trail of water trails.

Attention kayakers: In 2009 a fellow named Mike Stevola became the fastest person to through-paddle all 740 miles, in 32 days, 3 hours and 56 minutes (as if the minutes matter, c'mon!) - and he did it in a kayak!
