If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Maine you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many runs in this state are very easy. The starting location is a short drive from Bangor, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations |
you might end up sleeping in your car. The Macwahoc Lake to Macwahoc stretch of Macwahoc Stream in Aroostook County is 26 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. Getting your
| paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The natural beauty of Maine and the water flowing gracefully down Macwahoc Stream beats anything. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. The Macwahoc Lake to Macwahoc section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system.
