Welcome to The Forks!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Forks\"<\/p>\n

The Forks is known as a snowmobiling and whitewater rafting destination. You can traverse more than 100 miles of interconnected snowmobiling trails that criss-cross the region. The Forks is located where the\u00a0Dead River<\/a> and\u00a0Kennebec River<\/a> meet\u2014making it the starting point for riding these two rivers. You can take a 12-mile Kennebec River trip that begins on Indian Pond and roars through the Upper Kennebec Gorge, with rapids up to class IV. You can also traverse the Dead River, which provides the longest stretch of continuous whitewater in the East. You’ll find numerous guiding companies in The Forks that can take you on guided ATV tours, mountain biking treks, rock climbing, snowshoeing trips, and whitewater rafting trips. If you’d like a more relaxed adventure, you can take a leisurely walk that is less than a mile long to 90-foot Moxie Falls.<\/p>\n

The area that is now The Forks Plantation was organized in 1840 as township T1 R4 BKP, EKR.<\/p>\n
