CLASS II-III 15 miles
This section of Big Brook River is 15 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. The nature scenery of Maine and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your sleeping bag. You might be into whitewater rafting or
kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a large number of paddling spots. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maine are easier than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. And of course, there
