Big Water Releases

Big Water days are especially exciting on Maine's rivers.  If you have done the Kennebec and thought that "Big Mama" was big before just wait until you see it at 8000 cubic feet per second!...that's 3000 cubic feet higher than the daily release! Or try out the Dead this spring at 7000+ cubic feet per second as the river swells from all the winter run-off. 

If all that isn't exciting enough for you upgrade to a Baby Aire on Big Water and get the biggest ride of your life!  These 13 foot boats are two feet shorter than the biggest waves on the Kennebec.  This is our most extreme option...if you are out for a rush, this is for you.

Big Water days are well known in Maine and book early so pick a date and call us to reserve your spot in one of our boats.
