Description
The headwaters of Wassataquoik Stream rise on the north slope of the Mount Katahdin massif in northern Maine. A remote, pristine mountain stream, it flows southeasterly and joins the East Branch of the Penobscot River a few miles west of the Town of Stacyville. The lower nine miles provides an excellent Class II/III paddle in a scenic, wilderness setting. The almost continuous rapids are suitable for intermediate boaters or anyone who loves paddling wild, picturesque rivers. It can be run as a day trip or as the first day of an extended canoe trip, finishing on the East Branch.
