WHITEWATER RAFTING
Bingham, Maine
From the first hint of spring
through the lazy days of summer, Maine is an outdoor wonderland. You can
explore the coast, mountains, woods, rivers and lakes; Spot a majestic
moose while camping or hiking. Base Camp is located on the banks of the
lower Kennebec River. It includes over 60 acres of pristine land.
Kennebec River rafting is
famous for its remote wilderness, large roller coaster waves and
summer-long flows. The Kennebec cuts its way through a deep gorge in the
first four miles of advanced Class IV whitewater. As you exit the steep
gorge the river spreads out creating the opportunity for wildlife
viewing. It is not uncommon to see deer, river otters and eagles if you
are not too distracted by the whitewater. You may also find runs of
Atlantic Salmon and native Sea Lampreys.
