The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so better not forget that many runs in this state are very easy. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Lewiston-Auburn, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The scenic beauty of Maine and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water |
are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Chandler Brook is 10 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American Whitewater. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so why
| not pack your camp stove too. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
