Big Black River Depot Road crossing to Maibec
Road Crossing
This is a short trip about 6 miles in length. It is very scenic and
you can expect to see moose and other wildlife along the way.
In the spring, anglers will fi nd good brook trout fi shing. During the
summer, the deeper sections will produce excellent muskie fi shing.
The river is canoeable during periods of highwater and can be run
with kayaks during the driest summer with some work. It is a mix
of rips and deadwaters that is easily paddled by beginners.
Put in at the bridge on the Depot Rd. at the fi ve-mile marker,

MAG 61 B2.
