A dynamic whitewater river offering class II-III paddling through the Medway Lakes Wilderness Area. The scenic 75-km river features series of spectacular drops and play-friendly rapids including popular features like Bangs Falls, Bear Falls, and Rocky Falls. The wilderness setting protects rare species including Blandings turtles, American marten, and mainland moose. Upper sections require expert technical skills and seasonal water levels (spring/fall best); lower sections offer flatwater options through lakes and quieter passages. Excellent for skilled paddlers seeking adrenaline-rich wilderness experience. Best paddled spring through fall when water levels permit.
