Seboeis River to East Branch of Penobscot River
This is a 24 mile trip. Allow two days for paddling. Stop in to Shin
Pond Village before heading out for supplies and guiding assistance.
Put in at the Seboeis River Bridge on Grand Lake Rd., MAG 51
A4. Be prepared for Class 1 & 11 rapids for 1.25 miles. Near
end of rip, make a beeline for the left (east) bank for the portage
trail around Grand Pitch. Below Grand Pitch, paddle through a
few Class 11 rapids which soon taper off to Class 1. The river
passes through mountains and high ridges where evergreens and
hardwoods grow thick. Great views of Sugarloaf and Peaked
Mountain along the way.
The river continues for 17 miles to the East Branch of the
Penobscot River which is a bit obscure, so keep an eye out.
Whetstone Falls marks the end of the trip, MAG 51 D4.
