  The nature scenery of Maine and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. The put-in location is a short drive from Augusta-Waterville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came.

are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. There's camping available near Sebasticook River. The Mainstream to Castle Harmony section of Sebasticook River is 3 miles long and has been rated as a class II section by American Whitewater.
