DEAD RIVER
With 16 miles of continuous whitewater and lots of surf holes, the Dead River is set apart from the other rivers in Maine! The Dead River "High Water" releases is what everyone talks about!! There are only so many releases throughout the season - If you’re lucky enough to run one of these 'High Water' releases, you’re in for a treat. The rapids start out ‘BIG’ only to have the ‘BIGGEST’ rapids at the end of the day. This trip is both exhilarating and challenging for all rafters young or old. No experience is necessary! This rafting trip has a minimum age of 14 for the High water releases.
KENNEBEC RIVER
The Kennebec River is no doubt, the most rafted river in Maine. From the put-in at Harris Dam through the Upper Gorge, you'll learn to work as a team as you negotiate the many rapids the Kennebec has to offer like "Rock Garden", "Big Mama", "Whitewasher", and the famous "Magic Falls". The Upper Gorge is the "Ultimate Adrenaline Rush" of fun mixed with fear.This trip is for beginners or experienced rafters alike, No experience is necessary as it's fun for the whole family! This trip has a minimum age of 10 years old. Younger rafters can join up with us after the Upper Gorge. The lower portion of the river allows you to take in the forests, hills, and wildlife that the Kennebec has to offer. This is also a great time for a swim or to share stories with your guide who is with you the entire journey.For those who've done the river before and are looking for a more challenging run on the Kennebec, ask us about our Extreme Whitewater Adventure packages and/or see our "HUGE WATER RELEASE DATES"Row-Frame rafts can be arranged for older adults & children looking for a simpler ride through the gorge!
