"It was my wife's 50th birthday and she wanted to celebrate in a special way. The trip we had was indeed special. What made it special was the way the employees and river guides catered to our group. She couldn't have celebrated her 50th any better."
- Sal C., Needham Heights, MA
"Thanks for an amazing adventure. 11 Wild Women rafting! Thank goodness we got the DVD because no one would believe we really did it. We had a blast. You run a class operation. All of your guides were hospitable and respectful. The whole adventure was perfect."
- Lee-Ann G., Portsmouth. NH
"On behalf of the Concord NH Hog Chapter, we want to thank all the staff for the wonderful experience we had this past 4th of July weekend. The food, accommodations and rafting all exceeded our expectations. Kudos to our guide for a job well done!!!!"
- Mark B., Concord, NH
"I want to tell you what a great time we had with your rafting company. Everything was so well organized, so thorough, well prepared, no short cuts taken, so much fun and fully worth the price in all ways. I don't find myself saying that much these days but I say it freely regarding Magic Falls and your staff. Thank you for treating us as guests and yet friends at the same time."

Special Dead River BIG Water Releases
The Dead River's spring runoff and heavy water releases make for the best wild whitewater adventure in New England. You'll cascade down 15 miles of almost continuous class II-V whitewater, in rapids like Spencer Rips, Hayden's Landing, Elephant Rock, the Mine Field and the infamous Poplar Falls, the longest continuous rapid in Maine. The ride is exhilarating. There are only a few release days available, and they quickly fill up, so make your reservations early. The 2012 Big Water releases are scheduled for May 5, 12, (7,000 cfs) May 27 (5500 cfs), June 2 (5000 cfs), June 9 (3500 cfs), September 2 (5500 cfs) and 15 (3500 cfs) and the grand finale on October 6 (6000 cfs). Check out our Dead River Release rates.
(Only company with base camp and take out on the Dead River. Minimum Age: 12 years.)
Dead River Summer Family Whitewater Rafting Adventure
The summer brings warmer weather and milder water on the Dead, a more technical river. This trip is great for adults who want to raft intermediate whitewater and it's also great for younger kids! This trip will offer you lots of fun-filled whitewater and is one of our most popular trips! It's also priced right for large groups and families. This is not a big whitewater experience! The 2012 summer releases are scheduled for June 10, July 21(2400 cfs) and August 11 (2400 cfs).
(Minimum Age: 10 years.)
Sport Boats - Whitewater Rafts
A sport boat is a 13-foot long raft, the smallest the State of Maine allows on the Dead River. These rafts are very responsive especially on lower water flows, so you can surf and play in the smaller rapids. Magic Falls Rafting Company was the first company to offer this kind of trip.
Add $10.00 per person to price of regular trip.
We try our hardest to offer the highest quality river experience at the lowest possible prices available. We incorporate all river access fees and taxes assessed by the State of Maine, power company and landowners into our pricing so you are not charged extra.
Group discounts: available for church groups, youth groups, boy scouts, company groups, families and friends.
