If you're coming from Lewiston-Auburn it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. The between Weld and Dryden section of Bowley Brook in Maine is 0.25 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V section. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Maine is often easier than elsewhere, so don't forget that many of the rivers in this state are not very demanding. Some |
people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The nature scenery of Maine and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from
| near and far. Whitewater paddling here in the White Mountains is a great experience. There's camping available near Bowley Brook. This is a very short section so better bring some good walking shoes. This river system has a few good paddling stretches and the between Weld and Dryden section is one of them. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're | |
|
willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
Briefly about the general area: There's wonderful hiking along the Chimney Trail, and a day on the slopes
of Titcomb is just what you need. Just can't get enough of the White Mountains. Don't leave Bowley Brook without first going for a hike along the Brook Trail, and you'll meet a lot of people from Weld here. This river is
so perfect. A pleasant spot like Mt. Blue State Park near Bowley Brook is too great to leave out. Bowley Brook is a good location of normal rainfall.
