Maine whitewater - Grand Lake Stream, Washington County

Washington county, West Grand Lake to Big Lake section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     3 miles
  This stretch of Grand Lake Stream in Washington County is 3 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is a pretty short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. No matter if you're whitewater rafting
    or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Maine you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners.
The West Grand Lake to Big Lake stretch is the only paddling stretch along Grand Lake Stream. The campgrounds here at Grand Lake Stream are pretty good.
