About This Access Site
This put-in access point is located on the East Branch of the Penobscot River in the remote forest region of northern Maine. The East Branch is known for its whitewater characteristics and attracts paddlers seeking river running experiences. As a designated whitewater put-in, this site serves as a launch point for paddlers looking to navigate downstream sections of the East Branch. The river in this area flows through relatively wild and undeveloped terrain, offering a more backcountry paddling experience compared to more developed access points.
