Description - 

Dead River is very well known for its whitewater and has a number of rapids with varying levels of difficulty and interesting names. The Mile Long rapid is a long rapid that gradually increases in difficulty as one heads downstream. Elephant Rock, The Mine Field, and Popular Hill Falls are just a few examples of the rapids the river offers. Dead River also offers spectacular scenery along the way and chances for recreation.

The Dead River is one of Maine's best kept secrets. It's a dam controlled river with semi-regular releases throughout the spring, summer and fall. The releases vary in volume creating a unique rafting experience everytime you raft the Dead River.

The river boasts the largest stretch of whitewater in the New England area. People come from hundreds of miles around to get the chance to enjoy the Dead River.
