These guys could run the spillway below Pensacola Dam at Disney, OK. Awesome.

Maine has got some choppy rivers boy I had a blast on a few .

[@aholatom]

Nice playgrounds in Maine! Well edited film.

[@outdoorsnorthamerica6609]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[@matterhorn8420]

The sound track alone was worth 3 views. Well edited and the water looks much fun. I love thus video.

[@EPICichiban]

Good Show!

[@drewpbates]

I swear I've seen that section of woods trail where those two moose cross. Great video

[@ellis592]

Maine has some juice! Some burly scenery too. Cheers!

Nice edit. Made me miss boating in Maine.

[@r.e.johnson801]

Excellent

[@samgoforth4042]

Real nice. 1:35 doing some white water on an inflatable turtle. I have done that before

[@Chompchompyerded]

Water the colour of tea, big water waves you can surf all day, some sendy waterfalls, rapids that look like the rinse cycle of a giant washing machine... I think I'm going to have to visit Maine before I die. When are the best flows, and how hard is it for an outsider to find people to paddle with? Great video! Liked and subscribed.

[@noaharbuckle]

Spring for creeks, but our rivers run all through the summer

[@kayakmike111]

such an awesome video walker

[@pbr2424]

Have you done the Dead River in the spring at 10,000 plus. Hit Poplar Hills Falls on the left side and see what you think next time your out. I have and it's a long ride with some keeper holes. Thanks for the film. Nice job

[@MaineRiverLife]

pbr2424 The Dead is one of our favorites. I like to stay out of fry-o-lator in Poplar Falls if I can :)

[@pbr2424]

MaineRiverLife Good thinking. You guys are real.....

[@cheskybaba4864]

Would love to know the various segments on which river it was filmed.

If anyone sees a "Clean Energy Corridor" ad playing over this film please know that we DO NOT ENDORSE THOSE LYING BASTARDS! We don't get to choose the ads that play...

[@kayakinrob]

Are the playspots in this video well known? Would love some beta on that wave at 1:30. Looks great like one of the best waves this side of Canada.

[@MaineRiverLife]

kayakinrob That's the "Madison Wave" It's in Madison, ME. Look for 17,000 CFS on the Kennebec at Madison USGS gage. 17,000 is the minimum for eddy access, goes as low as 15k however. Get's really good between 19k-22k. Starts to wash above 24k, look for "Mitochondria" to come in further down river at flows higher than when Madison is good.

[@kayakinrob]

Awesome, thanks. Stoked to check it out when it comes in.

[@Jhilmer]

SSEND IIT!

[@ttolmbrftttwtbopat]

I hope no one ever tries to huck it off moxie falls.

[@levihiggins3571]

What is that thing the guy is laying on and where do I buy one haha

[@acsleister]

What's the name of some of these rivers and creeks?

[@MaineRiverLife]

There are many, but to rattle off a few, the West Branch Penobscot, Penobscot Dryway, East Branch Piscataquis, Sandy Stream, Kennebec, Austin Stream, Cold Stream, Wilson Stream, East Branch Penobscot, Gulf Hagas, Webster Stream, a lot of the play shots are on the Penobscot and Kennebec closer to the ocean where they are high volume.
