North Country Rivers is offering the Kennebec Turbine Test as a rare high-volume rafting experience on four scheduled release days in 2026. When the power plant releases water into the river, flows can reach an impressive 8,400 CFS, creating powerful currents, larger waves, and an exhilarating whitewater environment for adventure seekers.
The experience covers a full 12-mile stretch of the Kennebec River, featuring intense Class 3–4 rapids that deliver a thrilling challenge throughout the journey. With increased water levels transforming the river, participants can expect a more dynamic rafting experience than standard trips, making these limited release days particularly exciting.
Every raft is accompanied by an experienced guide, while essential river equipment is provided for the adventure. Guests can also take advantage of on-site lodging options, making it easier to turn the rafting experience into a complete outdoor getaway surrounded by Maine’s scenic wilderness.
After completing the demanding river run, participants can unwind with a satisfying BBQ lunch and relive the highlights through a trip slideshow. With limited dates, powerful whitewater, and a full day of adventure, the Kennebec Turbine Test stands out as one of the season’s most exciting rafting experiences.
