Maine whitewater - Salmon Brook, Aroostook County

Aroostook county, New Dunn Town Road to Aroostook River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II     4 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more forgiving, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. The natural beauty of Maine and the water flowing gracefully down Salmon Brook attract people from near and far. This is the only paddling stretch along Salmon Brook. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great reasons to come. 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. This stretch is mid length, it's good length for a morning trip. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling places.
