CLASS II 1.8 miles
The Ellis Bog to Chamberlain Lake stretch of Ellis Brook in Maine is 1.8 miles long and has been rated as a class II section by American Whitewater. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back
for more. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The nature scenery of Maine and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at
a nearby campground. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good spots for that around here. There are no other stretches to paddle along Ellis Brook than the Ellis Bog to Chamberlain Lake stretch.
