MAINE EVENTS CALENDAR

The fifth of 8 dam releases on the Dead River this season. Rafting on the Dead always provides unparalleled action. Turbulent rapids and rollercoaster waves create one of the most exciting #whitewater experiences in New England. This scheduled release is 3,500CFS. If you’ve never rafted the Dead River and want to try it at a less intimidating level, this is your day.

The Dead River has more continuous whitewater than any other river in the East (limited space – book early.) Enjoy class III, IV, and V whitewater from below Grand Falls to the confluence of the Kennebec and Dead Rivers.

High Adventure Sport Rafts (smaller, livelier) are standard on Dead River Summer Flow Trips.

Only 4 trips per rafting season! If you love #whitewater action, you will want to be on one of these special release trips… 8,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) water flows, nearly DOUBLE the Kennebec River’s normal whitewater rafting release volume. During a turbine test, Brookfield Power tests their generating turbines by releasing the maximum amount of water possible from Harris Station Dam.

This aggressive, high-adventure whitewater #rafting trip races through the beautiful Upper Kennebec Gorge with non-stop action and huge waves. The Kennebec broadens after lunch, into the fast-moving lower section surrounded by forests and wildlife. Enjoy incredible scenery, exciting rapids and plenty of opportunities to play and see wildlife such as eagles, moose, osprey and more! The river put-in is only a 30-minute bus ride from the check-in and the trip ends just a short ride from our Northern Outdoors Adventure Resort, where you’ll enjoy a classic grilled lunch and microbrew at the Kennebec River Brewery.
