Raft Maine’s Scenic Rivers

Whatever your expectations, anticipate moreThe Penobscot River: A pool-drop river with spectacular, complex

rapids dropping into calm pools of water which allow time to catch

your breath before tackling the next rapid. The 90 foot walls of

Ripogenus Gorge give way to breathtaking views of the mountains of

Baxter Park including Mt. Katahdin, Maine’s highest

mountain. Surfing spots and a natural water slide

are highlights of a Penobscot River trip.

The Kennebec River: A deep water gorge where

compression waves create a continuous roller coaster

ride for nearly six miles. The Alleyway and the most

famous rapid, Magic Falls, offer some of the largest

breaking waves in the Northeast. The

last six miles of the ride mellows a bit and

guests get to swim and paddle “duckies”

alongside their rafts.

The Dead River: Ten times a year this 16

mile run comes screaming to life in a

whitewater bonanza, featuring intense

rapids like Hayden’s Landing, Big Poplar

and the infamous Mine Field. Spring has the

biggest waterflows due to snow melt; fall has big warm

water, spectacular foliage, and guaranteed fun!

We will help you plan a trip that is perfect for you.
