What Our Guests Say About Their Experiences At Northern Outdoors
Northern Outdoors Team:
We had a fantastic weekend at Northern Outdoors rafting the Penobscot. Every staff member was friendly, helpful, informative and professional. The entire family felt we were in great hands and never felt unsafe. The cabin tents were comfortable and great to have after such a long ride. It was a very positive experience and we will most certainly be back.
Thanks Again, The Binette Family, Hampton, NH (July 27th 2009)
Hello Russell and Suzie;
Having spent much of my life in the hospitality business, I know how important customer feedback is, which has prompted me to drop you and your staff a short note of thanks for making our family trip to Northern Outdoors such a memorable one. Now that my sons are scattered all around the USA, our time together is so VERY important, thus to make a decision to come to your resort complex and go rafting on the Kennebec River, with all the other choices at our fingertips, was not an easy one to make, but boy was it the right one! Your location, facility, food, the quality of the river product and the EXCEPTIONAL STAFF were all first rate. I cannot underscore enough what an impression your people and your product made on me and my family. So on behalf of myself, Tucker, Ben, Dewey and Kevin, thanks to all for making our trip soooo special. It will long be remembered!!!
Best to you all!!
Jamie Corriveau and family, ME (May 2009)
I wanted to take a minute and thank everyone at Northern Outdoors for an excellent 4-days of snowmobiling and good times. Every year a group of us come up and always have a great time!
This year was nothing different. The place is clean, like always. The food we found to be better than ever! The riding was excellent, which always makes it that much better. But we really found the staff to be outstanding. Betsy was our waitress most of the time and she was great. We also met Amy, Don, Jim and Heather. Speaking of Heather, she was the best bartender we have ever had; she was on the ball, friendly and really cared about her job.
We really enjoyed ourselves and can’t wait until next year.
Keep up the good work!

I want to say what a great time my family and I had on our trip up 8/24 - 8/27 at The Forks Resort. We did just about every event, rafted 2xs, and did the overnight camping trip with Dawn and Nick who were both just terrific, and really put the trip "over the top for us." Can't say enough good things about the two of them. They worked non stop to make the trip fun and exciting. Both smart, talented river guides. You are very lucky to have people like that with your company.
Thanks again for a good wrap up to the summer.

This was our second trip with you, the first being down the Penobscot. We love the meal on the river, unlike the powerbar and dinner at days end like another outfit does it. The whole staff is wonderful and the atmosphere a lot of fun. Our California brother-in-law loved it too, despite some initial trepidation. You are a class act and we will return.
Claudia L, Sebago, ME (8/7/08)
Bryan was an excellent greeter upon our arrival to Northern Outdoors. All of the staff were great as well. Our entire stay was more enjoyable due to the knowledge and help we received from our guide John. We will be returning and feel that Northern Outdoors is an excellent place to vacation and share an adventure.
Jenneifer L, Nashua, NH (8/1/08)
What a blast! The Dead River was an exhilarating escape, testing your confidence and teamwork. Wet, fun, and unpredictable! All the guides and employees at Northern made the trip incredibly enjoyable.
Heather B. - Stowe, VT
Your Family Package was a great way to introduce our two suburban, TV loving children to the wonders of Maine's natural world. And, it didn't hurt that the whitewater rafting was more exciting than any theme park ride! Our family will definitely be back.
Jim M, Editor, E/The Environmental Magazine - Norwalk, CT
This was the third rafting trip for my son and I and the first with Northern Outdoors. Although all of our trips were fun, we found our trip with Northern Outdoors to be the most enjoyable yet.
Paul L. - Atteboro, MA
Our smallmouth fishing guide, John Russo, is the best thing that has happened to fishing since the invention of the bass boat itself! His expert advice, good humor, and patience with a couple of novices were unbelievably great. He made our trip an adventure of a lifetime!
Stephen B - Ashburnham, MA
As the organizer for the group, I was apprehensive as to how things would turn out. Northern Outdoors exceeded all of our expectations. Even the whiners had a great time!
Claran H. B - Ireland
Of any place that I have ever stayed or visited, your staff was far and away the nicest I have ever encountered. Everyone was always willing to go well above their job description.
Shawn N - Haverhill, MA
It is evident that your staff really enjoys their work and take great pride in going that extra mile. We were blown away by how much fun we had, and how professionally and smoothly it was delivered.
Tom F - Biddeford, ME
We found the whole experience to be professionally run, safety oriented, educational, and "totally awesome". Your lodge is impressive and we appreciated the resort facilities when we returned from the river.....especially the hot tub and the brews!
Christine W - Chatham, MA
Even when we weren't rafting we had a great time at the Lodge, just hanging out and enjoying ourselves.
