The Kennebec Valley stretches all the way from the Maine State Capital of Augusta to the border of the Canadian province of Quebec. Most of Maine's whitewater rafting companies are located here. The area offers vast unspoiled wilderness. The Kennebec Valley has many lakes, ponds, and river with great fishing. Hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails make this area a popular destination in the winter months. The famous 46-mile "Bow Trip" on Moose River remains one of a handful of wilderness canoe trips in the Northeast.

The Kennebec River is a river, 150 mi (240 km) long, in the state of Maine in the northeastern United States. It rises in Moosehead Lake in west central Maine. The East and West Outlets join at Indian Pond and the river then flows southward where it is joined, at the The Forks by the Dead River, also called the West Branch[1] then continues southward past the cities of Madison, Skowhegan, Waterville, and the state capital Augusta. At Richmond, it flows into Merrymeeting Bay, a 16 mi (26 km) long freshwater, tidal bay into which also flow the Androscoggin River and five other smaller rivers. The Kennebec then runs past the shipbuilding center of Bath, thence to the Gulf of Maine in the Atlantic Ocean. Ocean tides affect the river height as far north as Augusta. Tributaries of the Kennebec River include the Carrabassett River, Sandy River, and Sebasticook River.
