Snowmobile bridge to Moxie Falls

Source: Greg and Sue Hanlon's Steep Creeks of New England, which has more info on this run. Directions: On Rte. 201, head South from Berry's General Store in The Forks about 200 yards and cross the Kennebec River. Bang the first left and head 3.3 miles to a small dirt road on the left. Turn left and follow this road 'til you come to a clearing on the left. Park here and carry down the road 0.2 miles to a washed-out snowmobile bridge which crosses Moxie Stream. To takeout: head back to the paved road and turn right. Drive 1.2 miles to a better dirt road on the right. Follow this road until the Moxie Falls trail crosses the road and park here. Take the trail on the right about 0.3 miles to the takeout. Be sure to take out above 80-ft Moxie Falls! Check out the takeout before running the river, just to be sure. You don' wanna be takin' on that BadBoy, I figure. ### Technical info ``` Put in elevation........924' Take out elevation......720' Total drop..............204' Average drop/mile.......116' Distance................1.75 miles River width average.....30' River geology...........Slate ledge River water quality.....Good, clarity good.

If desperate for creeking you are better off carrying your boat to the takeout and hiking up the last 1/3 mile to hit the good drops, the beginning is too bony.
