The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in
    advance because these hotels fill up quick. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the Goose Falls Fd to same section is one of them. If you're coming from Rockland it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road map further
