MACHIAS RIVER
The Machias River provides a remote and challenging canoe camping experience
. The river's headwaters are the series of the Machias Lakes (First through
Fifth) in eastern Maine. This is a free-flowing river since the last of a
series of dams was removed in 1974.
The Machias has a long history of logging and mills. By the late 1700's, the
village of Machias exported a variety of lumber products, many going by sea
to Britain. Machias means "bad little falls" in reference to the falls in
the village where the river flows into the tidewater.
Due to the many access points, trips of varying duration are possible. My
favorite is over six days, putting in at Third Machias Lake and taking out
in the village of Machias. This trip provides good Class l-ll whitewater
with a couple of Class lll rapids that may be lined or portaged - a good
paddler with years of experience will know when to carry and when to canoe.
For example, the rapids between Third and Second Machias Lakes, "Long Rapids
," is one of those. Later on, there are other ones to be scouted and
decisions to be made. They go by the name Carrick Pitch (often mistakenly
referred to as "Carrot Pitch"), Airline Rapids, Little Falls, the Wigwams,
Lower Holmes Falls, Grand Falls and the falls at the Whitneyville Bridge.
You may just decide to run some of these, but Upper Holmes is a mandatory
carry.
The campsites are primitive with no formal facilities. The fishing varies
from bass to brook trout, and the scenery is fantastic. It's not unusual to
be sung to sleep by loons or coyotes. | S********t
