CLASS I-II 18 miles
This section of St. Croix Stream in Maine is 18 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. The scenic beauty of Aroostook County and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The Howe Brook to Aroostook River stretch is the only paddling stretch along St. Croix Stream. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The average Maine whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master
than those in other states, so better not forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. 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. You can pitch a tent or
park your RV at a nearby campground. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come.
