If you\u2019re a newcomer to the world of whitewater but are down for an adrenaline rush, the popular Kennebec River rafting trip is a thrill-inducing daylong adventure. In the morning, you\u2019ll be challenged with class IV rapids with\u00a0names like Big Mama and Magic Falls. You\u2019ll stop along the riverbank to recharge and eat a delectable alfresco barbecue lunch prepared by the guides. Replenished, you\u2019re ready for the more easygoing lower section of the river, where you may swim in the refreshing\u00a0water or paddle an inflatable kayak.<\/p>\n
The untouched woods and forest scenery is breathtaking and you\u2019ll spot wildlife including eagles, otters, moose and osprey in their natural habitat. Rafts hold approximately eight like-minded fun-seekers and your seasoned guide, who knows the river like the back of their hand. They take environmental stewardship seriously and effortlessly convey a deep and inspirational respect for the river and her pristine surroundings.<\/p>\n
Northern Outdoors offers additional rafting itineraries down the even more remote Penobscot River for experienced or daring rafters willing to attempt class V rapids as well as the Dead River, which offers the most continuous whitewater in any eastern river.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of additional activities on tap, so consider a mellow downstream river float, fly-fishing excursion or canoeing.<\/p>\n
