This section of Crooked River in Oxford Cumberland County is 17 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room
before you come because it is a very popular destination. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great attractions for lots of people. You might be into whitewater
rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so better not forget that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere.
