Take Out

This is a take-out access point on the North Branch of the Penobscot River located in Pittston Academy Grant, Somerset County, Maine. As a whitewater take-out, this site is designed for paddlers completing a downstream run to exit the river safely. The North Branch of the Penobscot is a popular whitewater paddling destination in Maine, known for its rapids and scenic corridor. This particular take-out provides access to the river in a remote forest setting typical of the region.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for a whitewater environment and have appropriate skills for the section of river being paddled. The location's coordinates place it in a relatively undeveloped area, so paddlers should plan ahead for parking, facilities, and any logistics needed for shuttle arrangements or group coordination. As with many remote Maine river access points, conditions can vary seasonally and water levels should be checked before planning a trip.
