Kennebec River Maine White Water Rafting Vacations
Maine’s Famous Kennebec River Offers White Water Rafting For All Ages
There are lots of good reasons why the Kennebec is the most popular river in New England. It offers consistent Class II, III & IV white water rafting in the spectacular Maine wilderness all summer and fall. From its source at Maine's Moosehead Lake near the Canadian border, this famous river corridor carves through a deep, rock-walled gorge in the exciting Upper Kennebec, and broadens out into the easygoing Lower Kennebec. Your trip ends just five miles upstream of our Adventure Resort at The Forks. Summer Vacation Values Are Here! Don't Let the Summer Get Away From You!
We make it easy to take an affordable adventure vacation with your family or friends.
