Welcome to Northern Outdoors

Maine's Outdoor Adventure Resort

The Forks, Maine

Dear Magic Falls guests,

Thank you for your support of Magic Falls Rafting over the last 35 years! Magic Falls does not plan to operate rafting trips directly from our base camp this summer. We have made arrangements with two of Maine’s leading rafting companies to help you plan a first-class rafting trip for you and your guests this summer. Please check out the two links below for information on these two companies. Both companies have agreed to offer a 10% booking discount during the 2025 season if you mention the discount code MAGICFALLS at the time of making your reservation.*

Northern Outdoors was established in 1976 as the first rafting company in Maine and is able to offer a resort experience, a wide range of lodging options from riverside campsites to large group cabins and whitewater rafting trips on all three of Maine’s Rivers – the Kennebec, Dead, and Penobscot. To book please call 207-663-4466 or email info@northernoutdoors.com. You can also book online and use code MAGICFALLS.

Adventure Bound has been Maine’s only youth focused whitewater rafting company for over 25 years, specializing in trips for schools, summer camps and youth groups from their 40-acre adventure center. The facility has a ropes course, indoor climbing wall, on site hiking trails, swimming pool and hot tub to compliment your rafting adventure on the Kennebec River. To book please call 207-672-4300 or email rafting@adv-bound.com.

We sincerely appreciate your support of The Forks community and Magic Falls over the years. We look forward you to seeing you on the river with Northern Outdoors and Adventure Bound!

Happy Rafting,
Dan Hale
