Whitewater outfitter
The beautiful scenery of Maine and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Maine tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that lots of rivers in this state are good for beginners. The campgrounds here at New England Outdoor Center are pretty good. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging |
is available very near the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. If you're coming from Bangor it's not a long drive at all to the starting location. Since you're on this site you are probably into
| whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here.
Briefly about the general area: Take a hike on the Cedar Lake Trail, and this is a popular site for folks from Millinocket. New England Outdoor Center is right by the Gray Ledge Dam Trail; don't leave New England Outdoor Center without first paying a visit to Grand Falls. At this river you will always have a good time.
