You already know ALCOM’s Triton Trailers builds the best personal watercraft trailers on the market. You might even have a PWC vacation planned for the coming season. But if your preferred watercraft adventure is more of a “paddle your own boat” kind of thing, let’s talk about raft and kayak trailers from ALCOM.

Once you’ve found your ALCOM aluminum trailers dealer on the map, open your preferred GPS mapping app and zoom in to a few of our favorite locations for rafting or kayaking adventures. Here are just a few regions you might want to explore.
ALCOM’s home state, Maine, has plenty of kayaking adventures to explore, from inland lakes and rivers to the rocky Atlantic shoreline. Review the Maine Bureau of Parks & Lands Paddling Guide and Paddle Around the Pier’s Maine kayaking guide as an essential part of planning your trip. When you tow your Triton aluminum kayak trailer to Maine, you can paddle in fresh or salt water and customize your summer adventure to suit your lifestyle.
Acadia National Park is a beloved American vacation destination, drawing millions of visitors every year. The entire area is built around summer tourism, with campgrounds, resorts, and every type of accommodations in between available around Mount Desert Island. Launch your kayak in the coastal waters around the island and explore some of the lakes and ponds in one trip. Don’t miss exploring Bar Harbor and driving the scenic loop in the park.
For an inland experience, head for the western side of the state, where lakes and mountains beckon. The Rangeley Lakes area offers hiking, paddling, and fishing for a more rustic experience; Sebago Lake offers warm beaches and easy access to the Portland, Maine area. Moosehead Lake, near Greenville, Maine, covers 117 square miles, and on its shores you’ll find seasonal rentals, campgrounds, restaurants, and boat launches. At Lily Bay State Park, find camping and lake access; check out a variety of other campgrounds and rentals in the area.
There are many more paddling opportunities throughout Maine; if your time in the state is limited, choose a region you’d like to explore, reserve a campsite, cabin, or motel as a home base, and paddle the waters in that area. Next year, you can choose another part of Maine to paddle!
In Florida, the lakes and rivers never freeze and the ocean is always warmer than it is in Maine. Sure, you need to watch out for alligators and snakes, but don’t let that keep you from towing your Triton LXT-LK Series to the Sunshine State. It hasn’t earned a reputation as one of the USA’s most-visited vacation destinations for no reason. In fact, there are so many reasons to visit Florida, your trip can include fun for everyone, even if some of your loved ones prefer not to paddle. Theme parks, beaches, auto racing, horse racing, state and national parks - all this and more makes Florida fun to visit.
Paddle through mangrove tunnels in Sarasota; float with manatees in Crystal River’s King’s Bay; explore inland lakes and rivers or the Florida Keys at the very southern tip of the state. Check out Florida Rambler’s comprehensive guide to the best places to kayak in Florida for more inspiration depending on which part of the state you prefer to visit!
If you want to go fishing, too, check out the regulations and don’t forget to bring all the required documents to stay on the right side of the law.
Montana is home to one of ALCOM’s trailer manufacturing locations; it’s also known as a legendary fishing destination, with rivers and streams teeming with fish. There’s even an app available to help anglers learn about 90 fish species. Float sections of the Flathead, Yellowstone, and Missouri Rivers; planning ahead and getting lucky in the permit lottery could also allow you to explore the Smith River, a five-day trip that’s best for people with intermediate skills (and up).
In Montana, you need to consider things like bear safety, and fishing in the state requires some paperwork, including: a Montana base fishing license, conservation license and Angler Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Pass (AISPP). These documents are required for everyone 12 and older, with resident and non-resident passes available. Read all about licensing, fishing districts and other specific state regulations at Montana’s FWP site.
In the Pacific Northwest, explore fresh and salt water paddling like you did on the opposite coast in Maine. In Washington, paddle in wilderness rivers, mountain lakes, or a protected fjord - the 65-mile Hood Canal - on the Olympic Peninsula. In Olympic National Park, Lake Crescent boasts crystal-clear waters up to 600 feet deep. For advanced paddlers in search of saltwater kayaking, the San Juan Islands are a popular, world-class sea kayaking destination where you might encounter orcas in the wild.
In Oregon, explore some of the state’s 2000+ designated Wild and Scenic river miles, including the Rogue River, which was designated in 1968 and still offers a pristine escape for kayakers. It's also known as a choice destination for raft fishing for steelhead and salmon. The Willamette River is accessible near the city of Portland, and it offers many miles of flat water kayaking. Wherever in the Pacific Northwest you tow your ALCOM aluminum raft or kayak trailer, review the rules, permits and documents you'll need, and any seasonal openings or closures to the places you plan to visit.
