Get Ready for ‘Skowhegan River Days,’ August 8

  • Published

The Skowhegan River Days is coming Friday, Aug. 8. You can paddle the Kennebec, hit the trails, shop local vendors, and fuel up with your favorite food trucks.

Skowhegan River Days is Skowhegan’s new multi-day celebration of recreation and life on the Kennebec. The event also illustrates the potential of the Kennebec River Gorge as the future home of the Run of River Whitewater Recreation Area. Run of River will include a whitewater park with wave features for paddling, surfing, tubing, and more; an estimated 50 miles of four-season trails; a riverfront promenade; and pristine fishing waters with improved fish habitat.

River Days is brought to you by Main Street Skowhegan.

Bring the whole family for games, activities, and a food tour and cap it all off with a paddling film festival and a beer garden overlooking the beautiful Skowhegan Gorge.

Full schedule of events HERE!

Don’t forget “River DAys” continues on Sept. 13 with the “Kennebec River Ramble” with plans to paddle the Kennebec from Skowhegan to Hinckley and then celebrate with food, drink, and lawn olympics. More info to come!
