Dead River Rafting
Whitewater Rafting on the Dead River
The Dead River has the longest stretches of continous white water in New England. Raft down 15 miles of almost continuous class II-IV whitewater, in rapids like Spencer Rips, Hayden's Landing, Elephant Rock, the Mine Field and the infamous Poplar Falls, the longest continuous rapid in Maine. The ride is exhilarating. There are only a few release days available, and they quickly fill up, so make reservations early.
