Lower Madawaska River
This is a fun river. The whitewater on this route is mostly all drop and pool, which means it's great for beginners. You won't find yourself swimming down long dangerous rapids if you fall in. If you fall in, it will all be over pretty fast. (The rapid, not your life, hopefully).
You can make this as long of a trip as you like, but after the take out a Griffith it gets wide and boring. We've heard, we've never actually paddled that section. There's a variety of put-ins, but you'll really only find official campsites past Palmer Rapids.
In the spring the upper section of the Madawaska is also runnable, but we've never done that part. We need to though.
