6th Bridge to Houlton section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 4.3 miles
The average Maine whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. This section of B Stream in Aroostock County is 4.3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. This is a pretty decent length section, you can easily run it on an afternoon. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. There are no other stretches to paddle along B Stream than the 6th Bridge to Houlton
stretch. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other spots for that. There are some good hotels near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up
sleeping in your car. The beautiful scenery of Aroostock County and the water flowing gracefully down B Stream will make you feel great.
