Somerset county, Pierce Pond to Kennebec River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V+     3.5 miles
  The average Maine whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. The Pierce Pond to Kennebec River stretch of Pierce Pond Stream in Somerset County is 3.5 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class V+ section. The wonderful Maine scenery and the water flowing gracefully down
    Pierce Pond Stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. The starting location is a short drive from Augusta-Waterville,
please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. You  
can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
