East Waterford to Scribners Mill section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 17 miles
The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Maine are often more forgiving than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less demanding. The East Waterford to Scribners Mill section of Crooked River in Maine is 17 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good spots for that around here. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will have
you coming back for more. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so pack your camping stuff. There are plenty of other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. The starting point is not too far from Lewiston-Auburn, as you can see on the road map
further down. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The natural beauty of Oxford Cumberland County and the playfulness of the water beats anything. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
