On a bright spring day in 1961, George Armstrong and his brother placed their small raft in the water and ventured into a canyon few had ever seen. The experience was overwhelming and captivating. Soon not only friends, but friends of friends were asking to join the Armstrong family river trips. Before long, we became one of California's leading outfitters, with a "family" of over 175 trained and dedicated guides, offering trips for beginning, intermediate and expert rafters on twelve of California's best rivers.

Since helping to pioneer the sport over 35 years ago, All-Outdoors has remained committed to providing quality rafting trips, and to the preservation and enjoyment of the natural resources we utilize. We have set standards in the industry for over three decades, and will continue to do so in the years to come.

The upper reaches of Maine's whitewater Rapid and Magalloway Rivers feeding the Umbagog lake national wildlife refuge offer some of Maine's most sporty whitewater runs and the most exciting wildlife viewing and scenery. These runs are now more exciting due to settlement agreement in hydro licensing that will provide large whitewater rafting flows each weekend all summer.

The Rapid River is by far the steepest and fastest of Maine whitewater rivers, and run only by Rapid River Rafting Co. The rapids, known as Elephant Rock, Island Rip, Jaws of Death and the Devil's Hopyard, insure a day full of thrills on this difficult Class IV river trip. The highlight of this trip is the remote location of the river and the fast pace of the rapids. On the return trip in the afternoon, our shuttle out is by pontoon boat through the Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge. The wildlife sightings of moose, bald eagles, osprey and loons are spectacular. Combine your Maine whitewater rafting adventure with a day or two of canoeing the Refuge for an unforgettable wilderness experience.
