Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New Hampshire is often tougher than elsewhere, so don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The natural beauty of Coos County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good places. The starting point is not too far from Berlin, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. For all you camping people
there are campgrounds nearby. This section of Androscoggin River in Coos County is 2.4 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II section of whitewater. This is a pretty short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Great exercise and
just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. The beautiful White Mountains scenery is an added bonus. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Pontook section is one of them.
