Overview
Slewgundy Heater is a narrow whitewater chute on the West Branch Mattawamkeag River inside Mattawamkeag Wilderness Park in Mattawamkeag, Penobscot County. The park access road runs to a campground and the trail network that reaches the Heater and Upper Gordon Falls. This is a powerful river squeeze with deep pools and strong current; treat it as a viewing and photography stop, not a swim.
