About This Access Site
This take-out site on the Stillwater River in Old Town provides access to a significant whitewater paddling section. The Stillwater River is a large stream system with a considerable gradient of 44 feet per mile on average, generating fast-moving water with an average velocity of 2.42 feet per second. With an average flow of approximately 540 cubic feet per second, paddlers should expect a dynamic river environment suitable for whitewater activities rather than leisurely paddling.
The take-out location is positioned on a major tributary system that drains a 707-square-mile watershed. The river's large stream order and substantial gradient make it an active waterway with notable current. Boaters using this take-out should be experienced with faster-moving water and prepared for variable conditions depending on recent rainfall and seasonal flow patterns. The site's location in Old Town, Penobscot County places it within Maine's traditional paddling region.
