Maine whitewater - Kingsbury Stream, Piscataquis County

Piscataquis county, Kingsbury Pond to Coles Corner Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     11 miles
  If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. This section of Kingsbury Stream is 11 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your camping stuff too. The scenic beauty of Piscataquis County and the water flowing gracefully down Kingsbury Stream are in themselves reasons enough to
    come here to paddle. 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. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. This is the only paddling stretch
along Kingsbury Stream. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of spots for that.
