Northern Outdoors, for white water rafting, is one of the best in Maine. It's worth the trip, regardless of your location. The guides on the river are excellent and end up performing many roles from guide, recreation-director, cook, and doctor (hopefully you don't need that skill). The facility has great meals, especially hardy breakfasts before you hit the river. The... More

A group of ten guys just completed our third February five day stay at Northern Outdoors near Moosehead Lake in Maine. The resort is in a good location as a base camp along with it's cabins, bar, and restaurant. The cabins are well worn and the food has slipped in quality compared to our last two visits. We enjoy the... More

We asked Nothern Outdoors to organize van shuttle from the end XCski trails (through Maine Huts and Trails) at the Forks to our cars at north of Kingfield, ME. The whole process and experience was absolutely perfect. Debbie called me several times and waited for our decision. Russle was waiting for us when we were late out of the woods... More

I've stayed in Northern Outdoors Resort three times. One of them was near the river -I did canoe- If you can visit on Fall Foliage time. You can relax there or you can go rafting. I guess the rafting part is most popular and best side the trip. Definetely recommend. More

We stayed in the cabin called the Niperoon. We had our own space and absolutely loved the quiet and wilderness splendor. Kennebec River, Jackman and Greenville were visited. Our interests are photography and hiking. We would visit here again, More

This is a gorgeous place to stay in a gorgeous location in western Maine. We found the staff very accomdating when we were scheduled to raft the Kennebec, and it turned out that the day we were supposed to go it was 25 degrees out. They changed plans without a fuss or expense, and we rescheduled easily. The room in... More

My boyfriend and I bought a white water rafting trip on groupon or buy with me. And decided to stay for a night because it is about a 3.5-4 hour trip from Boston. Glad we did. It was a lot of fun. The trip up there is beautiful. Kind of the back roads up through Maine. And it was spring,... More

We arrived quite late on a Sunday night and in a downpour. The staff was waiting for us and was very helpful in getting us to our cozy cabin. We're glad we ponied up for the Cabin because the bar in the lodge was still hopping at Midnight. In the morning we had a great breakfast. The instructions were succinct... More

We anticipated a rustic escape and Northern Outdoors delivered. White water rafting was great, restaurant was very good with pleasant variety and great on-site brewed beers. Facilities to grill your own food as well. The Forks is a tiny town with pop of 30 so don't expect to buy groceries in town if you want to grill dinner - you... More
