Penobscot county, French Stream to Kenduskeag section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-III     13.5 miles
  If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more forgiving, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers in this state are not as hard as elsewhere. This stretch of Kenduskeag Stream in Penobscot County is 13.5 miles long and it is classified as a class I-III section by American Whitewater. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the French Stream to Kenduskeag stretch is just one
    of them. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so pack your camp stove. The natural beauty
of Maine and the playfulness of the water beats anything. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
