North Country Rivers has built a loyal following for good reason. Guides like Chris, Ben, Vito, Codi, Jason, and Allison come up repeatedly in reviews, and the praise is consistent across the board. First-timers especially appreciate how patient and reassuring the staff are from the moment you arrive, right down to spending nearly 40 minutes helping a group get properly fitted in wetsuits before hitting the water. The experience goes beyond just the rafting itself. There's a food buffet after trips, cabin accommodations for overnight stays, and a game room that younger guests love. Some groups have been returning annually for nearly a decade, which says a lot. The Kennebec and Dead River routes both get strong marks, and the Ultimate Turbine Trip with the high-volume release seems to be a crowd favorite for those chasing bigger thrills. If you're on the fence, the sheer number of multigenerational groups, scout troops, and first-timers who walk away raving should give you confidence. This is a well-run operation where safety is clearly prioritized without taking the fun out of the adventure.
What an absolutely incredible experience! Our rafting adventure on the Kennebec River with North Country Rivers was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, organized, and genuinely excited to make sure we had an amazing time. The campground was beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect setting for the entire experience. The whole operation was well-run, and you could tell the staff truly enjoys what they do. A huge shoutout to Daniel, our rafting guide, who made the adventure especially memorable! He was fantastic—knowledgeable, entertaining, and hilarious. He kept us laughing while sharing so much interesting information about the river, the area, and rafting along the way. His personality and sense of humor made an already exciting trip even better, and we felt completely comfortable and confident with him guiding us through the rapids. We also want to recognize Chris, who was incredibly kind and helpful getting us set up and ready for our adventure. His friendly attitude and willingness to help started the experience off on exactly the right note. Between the beautiful scenery, exciting rapids, great campground, and outstanding staff, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. North Country Rivers gave us memories we will be talking about for years! We highly recommend rafting the Kennebec River with North Country Rivers—and if you get Daniel as your guide, you're in for an especially fun ride! We would absolutely do it again.
