Classic Penobscot River Trip

Spectacular scenery combined with Maine's most consistently challenging rapids means the best of all worlds on the West Branch of the Penobscot River. Begin the day with the 70-foot high walls of Ripogenus Gorge rising on either side as you careen through the chutes, drops, and boulder piles of the upper river. Enjoy a riverside barbecue for lunch, but be ready for the lower river with Nesowadnehunk Falls, a natural rock water slide with plenty of surfing opportunities (a Wilderness Expeditions exclusive). In between all the excitement you will enjoy fantastic views and wildlife sightings as the river winds its way around the base of Mount Katahdin, Maine's tallest mountain. Class 1-5 rapids--the trip is 14 miles long. Minimum age: 14 and 110 pounds. Please meet at the base at 7AM.
