The Lincoln stretch of Cascade Brook is 0.9 miles long and is a class V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is an extremely short
    section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. There are some good hotels near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep
you coming back for more. The campgrounds here at Cascade Brook are pretty good. The river winds through the White Mountains and you get great scenery. This is the only paddling stretch along Cascade Brook.
