A licensed Maine Whitewater Guide will guide you through the Class III-IV whitewater of the Upper Kennebec Gorge from Taster Rapids, the Three Sisters, Upper And Lower Alleyway, Z Turn, and culminating at the Kennebec's most famous, pulse pounding rapid-Magic Falls.
You'll take out after paddling though the big waves of Dead Stream Rapids at Carry Brook* at the end of the Kennebec's Upper Gorge.

Around 1:00 pm you'll be back at base camp where you can take off for your next Maine adventure. If you have packed your own lunch and refreshments, feel free to have lunch at our picnic area and enjoy some of our other recreational amenities.
Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. All our trips are subject to availability. We will endeavor to combine passengers from different parties and full day trips to help insure trip availability. A fee of $12 per person will be charged for the State of Maine Access levy. Rentals of wetsuits and booties are not included. Minimum age is 10 years (12 years for high water.)
* Please note that the take out at Carry Brook requires a climb of 90 feet out of the gorge. The wooden staircase has rest stops along the way.
Sport Boat - Whitewater Raft
A sport boat is a 13-foot long raft, the smallest the State of Maine allows on the Kennebec River. These rafts are very responsive especially on lower water flows, so you can surf and play in the smaller rapids. Magic Falls Rafting Co was the first company to offer this kind of trip.
Add $10.00 per person to price of regular trip.
