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.
