New Hampshire Whitewater Rafting Trips

One of the most popular trips is a half-day excursion with multiple runs scheduled on the Errol Rapid with a progression to Duckies (inflatable kayaks) for the more adventurous. These are great experiences for families with children as young as 8.

For children 8 (60 lb. minimum) and older, a 3-hour day camp will be held using rafts and rubber kayaks (Duckies) on the Errol Rapid Class II and Class III at our Errol base. This will be an informative and educational whitewater introduction where principles of whitewater will be taught. This exclusive trip has a focus on kids or families only. Two child options are broken into age groups (8-12 and 13-17), pound weight restriction. We can pre-schedule groups according to ages and or family groups.

This is what a 1/2 day would look like:
9:30 Check-in for SR groups (Balsams groups arrive for 10:00)
10:00 Intro Gear up and 1st run
10:20 2nd run, Intro Duckie
11:00 3rd run, swap duckies
11:30 4th run, flip and fight games (Splash Time) option to stay and swim or go up for the last run.
12:30 Final run, (optional canoe run with NW guided canoe, Guide (age 12 and up) value-added.)
The next group starts at 1:30 with the final run at 3:30 to 4:00.

These trips are run out of our Errol, NH base which is about 1.45 hours from North Conway, NH on Route 16, or about 45 minutes from Bethel, ME on Route 26.
