A Combination of beautiful scenery and the thrill of a whitewater roller coaster adventure is what you find on a rafting excursion of the West Branch of Penobscot River. The Penobscoat trip includes 12 miles of Class I, V whitewater which begins at Ripogenus Dam. The river contains some of the most intense whitewater in the East and is renowned for its spectacular mountain scenery, deep gorge and rugged rapids. Rapids like Troublemaker, The Cribworks and Exterminator welcome the thrill seeker with waterfalls, "holes" to surf, and natural waterslides to get out and swim in. Mt. Katahdin looms as a beautiful backdrop to the trip and the river has quiet sections where you simply enjoy the view. A hearty riverside cookout makes the trip even more memorable. There are many rafting companies in the katahdin Region who provide ratting trips for enthusiasts from novice to experience rafters Dam-controlled water flows ensure big water rafting everyday. All summer long.
