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 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 The Scribners Mill to US 302 section of Crooked River in Oxford Cumberland County is 15 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater.
