St. John River

110-mile trip through quick water and rapids rated up to Class III white water. The upper St John flows through some of the most remote wilderness of northwestern Maine. Wildlife abounds in this untamed wilderness. Because the St John River valley drains so efficiently the only water that we depend on is the spring run-off. Unless we have a wet summer the river is just too low to paddle. This tends to reduce the overall impact on the St John River. The benefit is well maintained seldom used sites. The night sky star gazing from sites along the St John are incredible.
