Ellsworth Falls to Ellsworth section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 0.5 miles
The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master in this state than those in other states, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very demanding. The nature scenery of Maine and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. The Ellsworth Falls to Ellsworth section of Union River in Hancock County is 0.5 miles long and is a class I-II section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is a very short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. There are plenty of hotels here if
you want to spend a night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The Ellsworth Falls to Ellsworth
stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system.
