CLASS II-IV 1 miles
This stretch of Baskahegan Stream in Maine is 1 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-IV section of whitewater. The beautiful scenery of Maine and the playfulness of the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd
better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the South Bancroft to Mattawamkeag River section is one of them. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find
a large number of good rivers. This stretch is very short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby.
