This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camp
    stove too. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking,
either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. Whitewater paddling here in the Boston Mountains is a great experience.
