Description

See also Vanceboro to Milltown. The 2023-2024 removal of the Milltown dam changed this from a short run with an inconvenient portage to a stretch of quality whitewater. Paddlers should scout the former dam site carefully, and be aware of powerful hydraulics in Milltown rapids at higher flows. Lat/ longitude coordinates are a SWAG. Put in to the left of the two buildings at the border crossing on North St (US side of border).
