Activities
Row, row, row your way to a memorable family adventure! A Guided Family Raft Trip from Crab Apple Whitewater is an exhilarating way to spend an afternoon bonding with your kids. You'll put on a helmet and life-jacket before embarking upon a guided, eight mile trip on the Deerfield River. Soak up the breathtaking scenery as you float along beside the historic Mohawk Trail.
Kids will be delighted by the cool splashes of water and the adrenalin rush of whizzing along the small rapids. You'll get some time to relax, too, swimming and floating in the water or just dangling your feet over the edge of the boat as you have a snack.
This offer gets you a half/day guided rafting trip for $156. Crab Apple offers trips 7 days a week from June 9th through September 16th, 2012. This offer is valid for 2 adults and 2 children, ages 5 and up, and includes helmets, life-jackets, a guide, and full wet suits - a $284 value.
Don't want the fun to end? Early evening BBQ is offered directly following your rafting trip for an additional $12 per adult and $10 per child! Ask about reserving a spot at the BBQ when you book your whitewater rafting trip.
Crab Apple Whitewater is made up of seven family members, a couple of full time extended family members and a wonderful seasonal staff. Chuck and Sharyn Peabody packed up their family from Hingham, Massachusetts in 1981 and moved to The Forks, Maine - population 30. Crab Apple was born in 1983 as Chuck learned how to guide rafts (he had never been rafting before) and Sharyn ran Crab Apple Acres Inn. They had done what many people dream about - leave a job and lifestyle that did not inspire them and exchange it for something unknown, but exciting. Hopes and dreams soon grew into a passion for showing people the wonder, beauty and excitement of whitewater rafting.
