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.
Braving the rapids in the summer is quite a thrill, but spring rafting is truly an excellent time to catch exciting water levels in Maine. As the spring thaw begins, the rivers swell to levels higher than what we typically see in the summer.

Northern Outdoors is home to Maine’s best rafting and adventure vacations. We started rafting in 1976, in fact, we were the very first rafting company in Maine (see more Northern Outdoors history), and have a long record of setting industry standards for quality, safety, and professional guide training.
