Maine whitewater - Moxie Stream, Somerset County

Somerset county, Snowmobile bridge to Moxie Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V     1.75 miles
  The wonderful Maine scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. The Snowmobile bridge to Moxie Falls section of Moxie Stream in Somerset County is 1.75 miles long and it is classified as a class V section by American Whitewater. The average Maine whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you
    want to stay the night, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The Snowmobile bridge to Moxie Falls stretch is the only paddling stretch along Moxie Stream. Getting
some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times.
