Coopers Mills to West Branch section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III 2 miles
The starting point is not too far from Augusta-Waterville, as you can see on the road map further down. The beautiful scenery of Lincoln County and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. A good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Maine are often more forgiving than in other states, so if you're
not from around here don't forget that lots of rivers here are good for beginners. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This river system is full
of great paddling sections, the Coopers Mills to West Branch section is just one of them. This is a somewhat short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
