Maine whitewater - Crooked River, Oxford Cumberland County Oxford Cumberland county, Scribners Mill to US 302 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     15 miles   My sister and I put in just below eddes falls this summer and kayaked all the way to sebago lake. Nice trip. Says Lynda My friend Dan and I ran part of this section last summer. Instead of putting in at Scribner's Mill, we launched from Edes Falls, just above the Rapids. It was a good inroduction to whitewater. Dan flipped within the first five minutes, but being that the water is relatively shallow, he did little more than get wet on a hot summers day. The Route 302 bridge is a logical pull out spot. There is a large mass of debris blocking passage     of the river there. The only tricky part is that the walls of the riverband are steep and slippery, so it helps to have someone with you for the portage. Says Corey Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maine are easier than the national norm, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding. The natural beauty of Maine and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. 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.
