The Kennebec River is a beautiful and historic river providing one of the primary waterways in the state of Maine. The Kennebec Gorge has a rich history as a logging river and boasts a power generating station at Harris Station Dam.

The Kennebec River rafting trip begins just below the dam and then charges for 14 1/2 miles before exiting the gorge area. The rafting trips ends in the town of The Forks, Maine. The Kennebec River Gorge is divided into two primary sections, the Upper Gorge and the Lower Gorge.

The Upper Kennebec Gorge has approximately 7 miles of non-stop thrilling whitewater action. This is one of the fastest moving continuous whitewater runs to be found. Rapids in the Upper Gorge hit the Class IV mark with standing waves and large drops. With fast moving water through a narrow canyon, the Kennebec River Gorge is a perfect rafting trip for all levels of rafting experience.

The Lower Kennebec Gorge is an easier, more relaxing whitewater stretch with most rapids being Class II and a couple of Class III. Its in the Lower Gorge where we stop to have a riverside lunch and to play in the river with our inflatable kayaks. On many hot days, people can also enjoy swimming through various rapids or flat stretches in their life jackets. This is a great chance to relax, soak in the sun and beauty, talk with your guide and fellow paddlers, or engage another boat in a water fight or tug of war.
