Maine White Water River Rafting Trips / Pricing
|
Maine Whitewater runs white water rafting trips daily on the Kennebec,
Dead and Penobscot Rivers. All three rivers are renowned
for their unique beauty and truly exceptional white
water. Each one also possesses a unique "personality".
Below are brief overviews
of each river followed by links that take you to basic
trip pricing and lodging-rafting trips and rates.
Kennebec River Whitewater Rafting
|
|
From the start of the run at Harris Station
Dam, the Kennebec river quickly becomes a
fast-paced, big-water gorge run. The first
4 miles of the run contain numerous class
IV rapids such as "Big Mama," "Whitewasher,"
and "Magic Falls." |
Following the Gorge
section are 9 more miles of class II and III
whitewater run amidst a beautiful wilderness
setting. In-between the two sections we serve
you lunch at Moxie Stream. |

Dead River Whitewater Rafting
|
In contrast to the Kennebec, the Dead
River is 16-miles of continuous class
IV whitewater in a very remote wilderness
setting. Because of shallow lake that
is above the dam, "The Dead"
has fewer dam releases scheduled than
the Kennebec or Penobscot River. |
|
|
Its
largest releases are typically in the spring
and fall (and we DO mean LARGE). As a result,
there are fewer trip dates available for this
amazing river. Fortunately, we now offer "moderate-level"
summer release trips on the "The Dead"
as well.
No matter what, it's best to sign up as early
as possible for both high, and summer release
Dead River trips. The number of slots is so
limited. |

Penobscot River Whitewater Rafting
|
|
Flowing though spectacular
Baxter State Park amidst awesome
Mt. Katahdin the "West Branch" is the ultimate whitewater experience. This
river contains numerous powerful class III,
IV, and V rapids, and is run in two sections. |
The upper section
includes the imposing "Ripogenus Gorge." The Gorge contains two class V rapids; "Exterminator" and "The Crib Works," as well as many
other class III and IV rapids. The lower section
contains numerous technical class III and
IV rapids such as "Abol Falls", "Nesowadnehunk
Falls," and "Pockwockamus Falls".
This is truly an extremely challenging and
rewarding river trip! |
