Experience on an outdoor adventure tailored for large groups, families, and youth with Adventure Bound on the lower Kennebec River in Maine. Our expertly guided float trips promise a unique adventure paddling the river and hiking to a waterfall on the infamous Appalachian Trail.
Glide along the river on inflatable kayaks, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), and canoes, accompanied by a support raft for breaks and gear transport, ensuring an immersive experience for all.
This half-day afternoon float starts at 12:30pm. Meet you guide at Adventure Bound to plan for the day and pack a picnic lunch. We’ll transport you to the Kennebec boat launch and Crusher Pool, a scenic swimming hole to enjoy your lunch. The adventure on the river begins with a beautiful afternoon float, creating a perfect blend of nature, exploration, and outdoor excitement. Enjoy the beauty of the Kennebec, as we make a stop for a short hike up Pierce Stream along the Appalachian Trail, culminating in a refreshing swim at a waterfall—a unique Appalachian Trail crossing. We’ll continue floating the Kennebec back to Adventure Bound, just about a mile from the AT crossing. Your trip ends at either the AB dock or just around the bend Caratunk boat launch where we’ll transport you back to the activity center.
For those seeking a full-day option, add on a hike to Moxie Falls for a morning activity. A two mile round trip hike to a 90′ waterfall!
We have two lodging options at our Adventure Center. First is traditional tent camping in large field spaces big enough for any size group, each with a fire ring and picnic table.
Or enjoy our bunkhouse style cabin tents, each is large enough for up to 10 people. Just bring a sleeping bag and pillow and you’re all set up! The main buildings offer 4 bathrooms (2 men’s, 2 women’s) with toilets and hot showers.
Once you arrive at Adventure Bound we take care of the transportation for all scheduled activities. Our location has a large parking lot with plenty of space for busses and large groups.
Lunch is included on your rafting trip. Weather depending, we offer a riverside BBQ with fire grilled teriyaki chicken or veggie burger, river rice, pasta salad, cookies, lemonade and granola bars for a snack. In cold or raining weather we’ll cook you lunch back a the Adventure Center, after you change in to warm dry cloths.
