Maine whitewater, Ducktrap River

Waldo county, Black Brook to Ducktrap Harbor section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-V     3.5 miles
  The scenic beauty of Waldo County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The Black Brook to Ducktrap Harbor stretch of Ducktrap River in Waldo County is 3.5 miles long and is a class II-V section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maine tend to be more forgiving
    than the national average, so keep in mind that many of the rivers in this state are not very demanding. This is a short paddling stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. The put-in location is a reasonable
drive from Rockland, as you can see on the road map further down. No need to look hard for hotels, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. The Black Brook to Ducktrap Harbor section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system.
