Experience the Skowhegan Gorge on a guided river trip from Basecamp Gear Library to Cleaver Landing. This is a memorable chance to get on the water and see the river from a new perspective.

Friday, June 19 & 26 | 1:00pm - 3:00pm OR 3:00pm - 6:00pm

Skowhegan Gorge/Kennebec River/Wesserunsett Stream

This guided inflatable kayak trip offers a relaxed and immersive way to explore Skowhegan while enjoying time on the water with experienced Skowhegan Outdoors Registered Maine Guides.

After meeting at Basecamp, the group will travel together to the put-in, where guides will provide a brief orientation covering paddling basics, river awareness, and safety. From there, participants will paddle downstream at an easy pace, taking time to explore the river corridor, enjoy the scenery, and connect with the river. The trip includes a mid-route lunch stop on the riverbank, offering time to relax, refuel, and take in the surroundings before continuing downstream.

This experience is less about technical instruction and more about exploration, comfort on the water, and shared time outside. No prior paddling experience is required.
