The put-in is not too far from Augusta-Waterville, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maine are easier than the national norm, so don't forget that rivers in this state are less demanding. 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. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature will have you coming back for more. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an
| area with plenty of rivers for that. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. The Athens to Kennebec River stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. The scenic beauty of Maine and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile.
