Since we traveled exclusively by canoe I can't say much about putins and takeouts. We ended up getting a ride from a Maine Guide from Oxbow Junction to Grand Lake Seboeis because part of our route had dried up and hadn't been used in years.

At Grand Lake we headed down shore left. There is an outcropping into the lake which shows on the map with a campsite there. Bear left of that. On shore right is a channel to Snowshoe Lake. It isn't very hard to find as this part of the lake dead-ends. This was a rocky little thing but we were experiencing rapidly declining waters in June. It is about a mile to Snowshoe through this.

There are massive boulders and deep pools as well. This will lead you down to White Horse Lake, a very shallow affair and not tremendously large but very desolate. At it's southern end the river continues through a deadwater section. According to the guide it's called Seboeis Deadwater and it really is. The channel deepens some for the next few miles and we came to a camp of some kind on river right. Some kind of outdoor camp but the name escapes me now.
