The wonderful Aroostock County scenery and the cool fresh water beats anything.

This is a very short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. 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. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The average Maine whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so don't forget that lots of rivers
here are good for beginners. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places.
