Maine Rafting Fun Blog

Well, the weather has been truly amazing up here in the Forks. Hot sunny days with blue bird skies makes rafting trips all the sweeter, and we all know that going rafting is the best way to get out of the heat and cool off! Besides the thrill of going over awesome rapids, you can really enjoy the calm spots with a nice cool breeze and refreshing swims.

The sunsets have been just as terrific, with clear, crisp skies and captivating views of Mount Katahdin from our Millinocket Outpost or looking over the ridge of green pine trees at the Forks base and watching the sun fade away at the end of another picture-perfect rafting-packed summer’s day.

And now, it looks like it’ll be the busiest weekend in Three Rivers history — we have more than twenty rafting trips at both bases on Saturday and all our skydiving tours are booked solid! We also have the Chris Fitz Band playing the Forks and The 3 Horsemen in Millinocket.

This past weekend, Brown Ledge Camp brought their very musical junior counselors for a Kennebec River overnight. In addition, Better Hockey and Dover Recreation Department came to enjoy some whitewater rafting with us.

With more spectacular summer weather on the way, warm weather, great fun, and of course, more and more rafting, the water’s looking good here at Three Rivers. Hope you come up to enjoy it with us!

On a beautiful sunny Saturday, Three Rivers Whitewater had one of the busiest days ever with tons of rafters cruising down the Kennebec and Penobscot white water rivers. The past several days have seen sun, sun, and more sun, and guests and guides have taken the opportunity to dive in the warm water of Maine’s whitewater rivers.

Come nightfall, the band One to Louder hosted the biggest party so far this season, and JC and the Pickups played two days over the weekend. All three Christopher brothers were hanging around the Forks all weekend long as well as Lauren McGrath & family, Jen and Noli and several other veteran Three Rivers Whitewater Guides.

With rafting at its peak, ample sun, tons of guests and more fun than you can shake a paddle at, time’s never been better to take a rafting trip here at Three Rivers!

There’s only one word for life at the Forks this past week: Wicked Awesome! The warm weather has scared off the mosquitoes meaning we can all wear a little more comfortable clothing… especially for those who were at the Toga Party! The house was packed for Taco Tuesday, as the band “1 2 Many” came to rock the roof off.

This weekend were were graced with the Christopher Brothers, who joined us to kick off Karaoke nights and a rocking end of June party played by JC & The Pickups… prizes, giveaways, and beverages were enjoyed by all.

So what are you waiting for?! The best time of the year for rafting is NOW, and there’s plenty of food, drink, music, and white water fun to go around.
