Kennebec River is a popular river for constant rapids. Dependent upon the daily water releases from Harris Dam, this section of the Kennebec River features large whitewater sections such as, Big Momma and Magic Falls. There is a small parking area by each starting and ending locations with stairs leading to the water's edge. This river route is also known to have holes that can flip rafts, so be sure to study the entire course before going. The difficulty rating is higher for the first portion of this route until reaching the Carry Brook take-out (which is marked as a portage, though not a portage). It's much more calm from Carry Brook to The Forks and is a class III difficulty. Check water levels of the river and release times from the dam ahead of time.
