Hi there paddlers, I have been living in NB for 2 years but I recently moved to the country. Just wondering if anyone could tell me how to get to the put in for the northern part of the Keswick as it is the closest river to my house.-Thanks

we followed the old rail bed above the covered bridge, past the deserted village of Haynes and up to where it crosses the river. The rail bed was badly washed out, though.
There is a spot farther up where a good bridge crosses, but I don't know the road. Mitchell Amos might help you here.

Hi Pingle, I have never run the upper stretch, but I cross the Keswick each time on my way into my camp on the Nashwaak. If you were to drive up by Crabbe mountain, and keep going along that main road a couple of kms, you will see a logging road at the base of the mountain. Take a right on this logging road and stay on it for about 10 kms. The second bridge you cross is the Keswick river. Looking at it on the GPS, it looks like about 2kms downstream another big stream dumps into it. I've been wanting to put in there for a while now and never got around to it yet. Might be a hard haul with water levels where they are now. Please post back if you do the run and let us know how you made out  Derek |

Thanks for the directions, I know what road you mean and I think I might try it whenever I have time off. I will certainly post back for everyone if I go.

There is another road beyond the west branch of the keswick. It is just a ways before the bridge before the nashwaak. I can't remember what the sign says on the right. The bridge over the keswick is called Haystack bridge. You would need a lot of water to run from here though. Good luck.
