This 12-mile trip down the Kennebec River is a whitewater rafting trip like no other. The first thrilling 6 miles we will navigate continuous Class III – IV rapids, ensuring non-stop excitement. Start out with Taster rapid and build up to class IV Whitewasher and Magic Falls rapids. You’ll even have an option to swim whitewater at Swimmers rapid.
But that’s not all! After conquering the rapids, our guides will provide a delicious riverside barbecue featuring grilled chicken and river rice! Depending on the weather, we may have a snack on the river and serve lunch back at Adventure Bound.
Additionally, 8 & 9 year old kids can meet the trip after the major rapid and before lunch. They still get to enjoy a class III rapid and the lower river. Be sure to ask for more info when booking!
As the journey continues down to the lower river, the fun continues with water fights against friends, testing your skills in an inflatable kayak, or simply surrendering to the gentle current as you float with your life jacket through the scenic waterway.
Thanks to controlled dam releases, we guarantee an entire summer of whitewater thrills. Whether it’s your family or youth group, we’re here to make it happen, seven days a week, from May through October!
