CLASS II 4 miles
This section of Salmon Brook in Aroostook County is 4 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II section. The beautiful scenery of Aroostook County and the water flowing gracefully down Salmon Brook are reasons enough to come here and paddle. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you won't find a large number of other rivers. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. There are no other stretches to paddle along Salmon Brook than the New
Dunn Town Road to Aroostook River stretch. This is a pretty decent length section, good for a one day paddling trip. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have
reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maine tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that lots of rivers here are good for beginners.
