Rafting Fun

Your Maine white water rafting trip combines the thrills of the water flume rides at Six Flags, Disney World or Busch Gardens with the awe of Mother Nature surrounded by the scenic beauty of the rock-walled Kennebec River Gorge and evergreen forest of the fast flowing Dead River. Maine has more miles of white water rafting than all the rest of New England and New York combined. Your Maine whitewater rafting trip is capped off with an open-grill meal of steak, chicken, fish or veggie burger, river rice and home-made dessert. You're sure to have magical memories of white water rafting in Maine. View rafting trips
