Kennebec River Gorge Details
The Kennebec River Gorge is an approximately 12-mile stretch of fast-moving river and high walled canyons. Unfortunately, the spot here provides no direct road access, and visitors either have to hike in through the woods or float the river to see it. Due to the series of rapids and the changing water levels based on the output of the nearby dam, only whitewater rafts are appropriate For adventurers, the fishing is reported to be spectacular.
