Kennebec River Gorge Take-out

This take-out access point on Carry Take Out Road features stairs for exiting the river after completing the Kennebec River Gorge run, though paddlers should note the stairs have tall steps that can be tiring after an active day on the water.

The take-out is located approximately 3. 45 miles downstream from the Harris Station Dam put-in and serves as the standard exit point for the Upper Gorge section, with a parking area accessible via a rough dirt road (1. 5 miles from Indian Pond Road).
