The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Canada Falls Lake to Pittston Farm stretch is just one of them. This is a bit of a short stretch so no need to bring snacks. A bit of exercise and just hanging out
with mother nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Maine you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're not from around here don't forget
