South Branch to Bingham section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-V(V+) 0.2 miles
The nature scenery of Maine and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of places for that. Austin Stream doesn't have a lot of paddling sections,
the South Branch to Bingham section is the only one. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This stretch of Austin Stream in Maine is 0.2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-V(V+) section. You might have to settle for a hotel a
bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This section is very short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times.
