Whitewater Rafting on Maine's Rivers
Maine is home to the best whitewater rafting in the Northeast, with three dam-controlled rivers offering daily rafting trips on class III-V whitewater from May through October. Splash through class V rapids, spot moose and eagles along the river, enjoy a gourmet lunch grilled on a riverside beach, visit waterfalls, ride through steep river gorges — all with skilled and professional Maine Guides.

“The rafting team was amazing and so knowledgeable, especially our guide Grace. She explained things well and made sure we had the best time possible. When we stopped for lunch we were so shocked at how well put together it was, and the food was amazing. I’ll definitely be recommending the rafting experience to anyone I know that is headed to Maine and I also hope to come back again one day for another great time. Thanks again!”
