Long Pond to Brassua Lake section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 5 miles
This section of Moose River in Maine is 5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater. The nature scenery of Maine and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This is a pretty decent length section, it's good length for a morning trip. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have a lot of people coming here. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The average Maine whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier
to master than those in other states, so you'd better keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less demanding. The Long Pond to Brassua Lake section is the only paddling section along Moose River.
