This section of Kenduskeag Stream in Maine is 13.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-III section. The scenic beauty of Maine and the water flowing gracefully down Kenduskeag Stream beats anything. There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. There aren’t any hotels right

one of the great campgrounds nearby. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good places.
