The Androscoggin River section in Bethel Maine is a fantastic place for you to canoe and kayak! We offer several different locations where you can start your adventure. We’ll shuttle you up the river, and you’ll float back down to the campground. This makes the logistics easy, so you won’t have to worry about getting yourself back up the river—you’ll return right where you started. It’s a picturesque float, with mountains on almost every horizon. The river has wider sections that slow down the flow, and some narrow passageways that speed things up. One section of the river features some exciting rips—not quite whitewater, but just adventurous enough to keep things interesting!
Our 5-mile upriver trip is perfect for a shorter, more leisurely experience, and is exclusively available for our river tubes, as well as kayaks and canoes. If you’re looking for a longer adventure, our 10-mile upriver trip is reserved for our boats, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of the Androscoggin River. Whether you prefer the companionship of a double kayak, the freedom of a single kayak, or the stability of a canoe, we have the right option for you.
Before you embark on your adventure, be sure to pack waterproof shoes, sunscreen, and plenty of beverages to keep you hydrated. Get ready for a relaxing day on the river, where you can unwind and enjoy the serene surroundings.
As the largest provider of tubes, kayaks, and canoes in Western Maine, we can accommodate large groups with ease. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a bachelor or bachelorette party, or any other special event, we’ve got you covered. Our extensive inventory and expert staff ensure that everyone in your group has a fantastic time on the water.
