Maine, Inland,
ME United States
Let's talk serious whitewater fun for Labor Day Weekend! Test your skills at paddling the West Branch of the Penobscot's Roll Dam section (Seboomook). It's a few miles of beautiful ledge/pool drops more fun than a barrel of monkeys! If you swim, no worries, just pickup your pieces in the pool after each drop and climb back in your boat for the next one. Play on a wave if so inclined. Good clean water, easy to scout and portage as needed, and the beauty of the North Maine Woods. Wicked pissah fun in mid-August when NH rivers are typically dry. The Seboomook section of the Penobscot lies in the heart of the North Maine Woods, a consortium of private landowners (mostly paper companies), encompassing 3.5 million acres of working forest. It is a rugged and remote place many miles from the conveniences of modern day life, which sinks in as you travel the 37-mile well-kept gravel road to get there. Cold nights, warm water, campfires, and lasting friendships!
