About This Access Site
This is a take-out access point on the South Branch of the Penobscot River located in Alder Brook Township in Somerset County, Maine. As a whitewater take-out, this site is designed for paddlers finishing a whitewater run on the river rather than launching trips. The South Branch of the Penobscot is known for its whitewater paddling opportunities and attracts kayakers and canoeists seeking moderate to advanced river runs.

Paddlers using this take-out should be prepared for whitewater conditions typical of the South Branch, which features Class II and Class III rapids depending on water levels. The site's primary purpose is to provide an exit point for boaters completing their river journey, making it a critical part of any whitewater paddling trip in this area. Access to this location is via Alder Brook Township in the western Maine highlands.
