CLASS II-IV     9.5 miles
  This stretch of Falls Brook is 9.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-IV section. The beautiful scenery of Maine and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Maine you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers in this state are less demanding. This
    stretch is mid length, suitable for an afternoon trip. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. The starting location is
a reasonable drive from Bangor, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the Falls Pond to St. Francis River section is one of them. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
