This family enjoyed an awesome adventure getaway at Northern Outdoors this July. Kennebec Float trip, resort fun & great family time made it uber special!
We’ve been guiding whitewater rafting trips at Northern Outdoors in The Forks, Maine for over 40 years, but somehow Maine’s three rivers — the Kennebec River, the Dead River and the Penobscot River — are more fun every season! It must be you guys. Read your whitewater rafting trip reports, get some Maine travel tips, and meet our Registered Maine Whitewater Guides below. Post your rafting photos and other Maine adventures on Instagram with #NorthernOutdoors to be featured in our taproom.

The perfect weekends at Northern Outdoors. Our entire experience was outstanding. From great food to clean cabins, and a great first experience on the river.

We humans feel better near water. Recent research in cognitive neuroscience proves it. Raft guides know it. Learn why river time is therapy…

Couples Rafting Weekend on the Kennebec River in Maine. We created a lot of memories are the campfire back at the cabin. We can’t wait until next year because the weekend went by way to fast!

Whether it’s after a day rafting the Kennebec or snowmobiling through Maine’s woods, nothing beats a tasty, handcrafted beer. Kennebec River Pub serves up some amazing beer and food, all in an atmosphere that welcomes everyone like a regular.

If your looking for a comfortable place to stay, a great adventure in the beautiful woods of Maine and the best staff on the northeast, than look no further. Its all right here at Northern Outdoors.

Northern Outdoors thrives in creating an atmosphere that is perfect for enjoying a high quality handcrafted beer, but also to really kick back, relax, and escape in beautiful western Maine. And clearly, we are not the only ones who feel this way about the unique atmosphere here at Northern Outdoors.

We vacationed Friday to Monday and stayed in the Baxter lakeside house. What a beautiful location. The owners at the lodge were so friendly !!! We rented their kayaks for the day on Saturday which was so awesome! Sunday we white water rafted.
