Maine whitewater, Cathance River

Sagadahoc county, US 201 to Cathance Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-III     2.5 miles
 
Fun short spot, We made it a overnight trip and had a good old time. There needs to be a bunch of water in this stream to even make it doable. on 4/20 we were scooting-ass over many shallow spots in our yaks. Fun drops with laziness inbetween make for a good time especially for the novice. Says John

The US 201 to Cathance Road stretch of Cathance River in Maine is 2.5 miles long and it is classified as a class I-III section by American
    Whitewater. The average Maine whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit easier to master than those in other states, so keep in mind that rivers in this state are not as hard as elsewhere. This stretch is short
so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Lewiston-Auburn, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. There's camping available near Cathance River. The nature scenery of Sagadahoc County and the playfulness of the water  
beats anything. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the US 201 to Cathance Road section is one of them.

Briefly about the general area:
Cathance River is not far at all from Topsham, and a journey to Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park when you're here is never a bad idea. During your stay at Cathance River do take a look at close by Thomas Point Beach; you certainly ought to explore Peacock Beach State Park while you're here. Coming to this river is always a good idea.
