CLASS I-II     25 miles

If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so better not forget that a lot of the rivers here are suitable for beginners.

The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
    The Deer Lake to Deblois section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. The scenic beauty of Washington County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and
near. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places.
