The average New Hampshire whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. The campgrounds here at Cascade Brook are pretty good. There are some good hotels near the river, but you'd better
    reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The beautiful scenery of New Hampshire and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. There are no other stretches to paddle along Cascade Brook than the Lincoln stretch. The beautiful White
Mountains scenery is an added bonus. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling places. This is a very short section so better bring some good walking shoes. The starting location is a short drive from Berlin, as you can see on the road map further down.
