Tomhegan Stream to Kennebec River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS V 11.5 miles
This section of Cold Stream in Maine is 11.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V section. The natural beauty of Somerset County and the cool fresh water beats anything. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. The campgrounds here at Cold Stream are pretty good. 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 is the only paddling stretch along Cold Stream. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. This stretch has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so
why not pack your sleeping bag too. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here.
