The natural beauty of Hancock County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there
are lots of good places for that around here. This stretch is very short so better bring some good walking shoes. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maine are easier than the national norm, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. The Ellsworth
Falls to Ellsworth stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. There's camping available near Union River.
