Maine Water Adventures

Maine Canoe and Kayak River Trip

Of all the rivers to explore locally, the West Outlet on Moosehead Lake is one of the best and most diverse. Starting as a river along the way there are scenic ponds, quick water and class 1 whitewater (the lowest designation).

For wildlife watching, few rivers can compare to this trip.  Along the shore you may spot nesting bald eagles, scampering beavers or otters, and even loons calling.  Deer and bear may be spotted along the riverbank and frequently feeding in the shallows may be the Maine Moose!

For the fisherman this trip offers some of the best bass and trout fishing in the region.  Our clients frequently catch smallmouth bass in the 3-5 pound range, and trout up to 14 inches, so be sure to bring your fishing rod or rent one at our store.  We also offer fishing licenses, tackle and good advice.

For this trip we provide your boats (canoes or kayaks), lifejackets, paddles, map, and transportation to and from the river.  Bring a picnic lunch and make this a full day trip, or you can shorten the trip to a half day.  Basic paddling experience is required for unguided trips. Guides are available.

Kennebec River Whitewater Rafting and more!

BIG WAVES, BIG FUN, & SUMMER SUN !
Class III - V+ May - Oct.

The Kennebec River in Maine offers whitewater rafting adventure for fanatics to families. It's not long after we launch our rafts before the speed of the river begins to pick up and the waters begin to churn white. As we enter the steep granite walls of the Kennebec Gorge large waves can be seen ahead. From this point on the river plunges 12 miles through the gorge creating crashing wave rapids like "Big Mama", "Whitewasher" and "The Alleyway". The high point of the day is the run through class V Magic Falls.  We stop briefly at the Middle River access point to pick up younger passengers. Rapids continue through out the day. There is plenty of time for swimming and enjoying the river including stopping along the river bank for a steak and chicken barbeque .

River Fact: The Kennebec River in Maine flows 7 days a week all season long.
