MAGALLOWAY RIVER: This trip requires a car shuttle. It is a 5.5-mile (approximately 3-hour) paddle. Take Route 4 from Rangeley towards Oquossoc to the Information Pavilion. Turn right on Route 16 to Wilson’s Mills. At Wilson’s Mills as you approach the bridge, turn right on Bennett Road; immediately on left is the launching point. There is fast water at the beginning of the trip, but it is flat.
Shuttle: Take a car to the bridge at the Maine-New Hampshire border – there is only one bridge which crosses the River. Take out at bridge; it is quite steep.

Is the Magalloway River and Bear Brook the same body of water?
It’s the Magalloway River. Google maps has it wrong. I have no idea where the name Bear Brook came from but everybody calls it the Magalloway River from Canada to Umbagog. I live there and have been fishing the Aziscohos area for 30 years and have never heard a single person call it Bear Brook.
