Outstanding Penobscot Rafting Trip!
I will definitely be back and would highly recommend the trip to all. A big thanks to Northern Outdoor and their staff
There are two items that top any list of Maine’s most epic adventures: whitewater rafting the Penobscot River and climbing Mt Katahdin. You can do both the rafting and hiking from our Katahdin Adventure Base Camp steps from Baxter State Park on the Appalachian Trail. Read reviews of Penobscot rafting and Baxter State Park hiking below (with Mount Katahdin photo bombing ever present.) More info on Penobscot River Whitewater Rafting (and a must-see rafting video with drone footage of Maine’s wildest river.) Post your Penobscot River rafting photos on Instagram with #NorthernOutdoors to be featured in our taproom.

My group has been fishing/rafting continuously since 1991 exclusively using Northern Outdoors including both the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers.
We had an awesome time rafting the Penobscot River. Maine Guide Ted made the trip fun… shout out to the rescue kayaker…
My group rafted the Kennebec last summer and had a blast and decided to come up again to raft the Penobscot. The trip was fantastic!
One of THE BEST family fun vacations ever! We ran the Penobscot and Kennebec rivers this trip. The entire trip was a blast.
This is my fifth year on the Penobscot and second with Northern Outdoors. The trip was flawless & well organized.The guides were friendly and informative.
After winter, the rivers are flowing strong and playful, thanks to slowly melting snowpack. In fact, early spring runoff provides some of the most exciting whitewater in the Northeast. Before you head out, there are a few spring rafting tips I want to pass on to you.
We humans feel better near water. Recent research in cognitive neuroscience proves it. Raft guides know it. Learn why river time is therapy…
We had a great time rafting with Northern Outdoors however our trip didn’t go exactly as planned. This was our second time rafting and we had heard that the Penobscot was the best in New England, so when it came time to book the river selection seemed obvious!
We would all definitely recommend Northern Outdoors on the Penobscot River to anyone, and we plan on coming back next year!
