Old Canada Road Scenic Byway
Kennebec River, ME
Kennebec River is famous for the remote wilderness through which it passes and the huge roller coaster waves that are so popular with rafters. The river stems from Moosehead Lake, Maine's largest body of inland water. Kennebec River has summer-long flows and most of the rapids are class IV or higher.
Some well-known rapids are Rock Garden, Three Sisters, the Alleyway, and Magic Falls. Once past the gorge, the opportunity for wildlife viewing is great. It is common to see deer, river otters, and eagles if the whitewater gives you a chance.
