White water rafting is a rip-roaring adventure in Maine

A family-run business in operation since 1983, Crab Apple Whitewater gears up and guides guests on safe and affordable rafting trips that offer enough thrills for adventure junkies and easy water fun for kids and families. For big water action on the Kennebec, you can plunge through heart-pounding drops like “Three Sisters.” Even more thrilling is the Class IV-V “Poplar Hill Falls” on the Dead River. At the other end of the spectrum, enjoy a half-day of family rafting along six miles of easy whitewater with time out for swimming and floating. Enjoy wilderness views and stop, if you like, for a cookout. Then head back to the base camp to stay overnight and enjoy the pool, pub, restaurant and night-time paintball excursions.
