East Waterford stretch is just one of many. 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. Whitewater rafting
| and kayaking in Maine is often easier than elsewhere, so keep in mind that many runs in this state are very easy. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The wild scenery of the White Mountains is great. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camp stove. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. Whether you're whitewater rafting | |
|
or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places.
Briefly about the general area: Crooked River is a place with many visitors from Brownfield; going for a hike on the Albany Brook Trail is
always a good adventure. Now, you may assume that's a lot but there's even more amusing things to do here in the White Mountains. Gotta ski! Mount Abram is a pleasant spot to do that, and there are good spots to explore
along the Albany Mountain Trail. This river is always fun. A common amount of precipitation falls here at Crooked River. The month of August is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest month of the year is February.
