New England Outdoor Center

My husband and I recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at NEOC. It was the perfect venue for us to gather our family and friends from all across the country for a weekend of reminiscing, reconnecting, and refreshing! We housed everyone in various cabins and lodges- all were clean and comfortable. Our pizza buffet at the Knife Edge on Saturday night was so good, and a very fun informal venue. Our Sunday morning worship service took place on the Point with the gorgeous backdrop of Mt Katahdin. And our Sunday afternoon and evening program at the Event Center was everything we had hoped for! The appetizers served on the patio were delicious and artistically presented. The dinner buffet inside was scrumptious and visually stunning. Shorey Ewing, our event planner, worked with us both before and during our event to create the perfect ambiance with flowers, decorations, and smooth programming. We had an amazing weekend!! We highly recommend NEOC as a venue for any special celebration!!

White water rafting was amazing! Weather wasn’t great so they upgraded us and did the top of the river twice. Had a private boat animal style with Chris Howe and couldn’t have been any better. Awesome guide and amazing time!! Will definitely be rafting with Chris again!! Highly recommend this trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My family tent camped and white water rafted with NEOC. The grounds were clean and the views from the campsite were amazing. The staff was very accommodating. Our rafting guide Allison was great. We only did the bottom half of the river because our daughter is only 12. I wish I knew I could have done the top half without my family and then they could have met me for the bottom half. The steak and chicken lunch on the river was delicious!

I took the 7AM wildlife yesterday with Matt and it was great from start to end! The scenery, the overall ride, Mt. Katahdin was limited in visibility due to the Canadian wildfires, the scent of the pine trees and I did not see moose today! Not disappointed, I saw a couple of eagles and got to know some things along the way! Thank you so much to Matt and everyone at NEOC! I will be back again! Take care!

My first visit to this location in maine, it was beautiful, clean, and just a pleasure to be at... We also took advantage of the Whitewater rafting, which was amazing. The accommodations we're spotless, clean and absolutely beautiful buildings, the the whole complex and surroundings was beautiful....

The staff was exceptional and very fun! Chris, Allison, Jake, James, Alex, Sam Dan, the bus driver, and everyone else that I couldn't remember your names. Thank you for a wonderful first white water rafting experience. It was quite the experience and fun to be in the falls, getting an endless amount of water to the mouth/face. It made my day and really gave me a great experience. Lunch was perfect, so thank you for that much needed pick-me-up. I look forward to seeing you again soon. "Team Penobscot NEOC"

We signed up for the white water rafting. It was worth every penny! We had a great time, and it far surpassed our expectations. I will be doing it again, and I was absolutely blown away by the experience the team at NEOC provided. Make sure to ask for Sam!

Everyone should plan to visit this place more than once in their lives!!! My husband and I just left, but already cannot wait to go back!!! We spent the day white water rafting with Allison and 6 young girls from a summer camp. We got the lay of the land from Allison in the bus on the way to the Exterminator (class v) and then spent time inthe water in the raft learning how to manuver and what she expected from us.... then it was time to start the trip! We were even fed a hot yummy lunch before we headed back out on the water... we experienced Class 5 and 3 and 2 and 4 rapids ... as well as over an hour of just floating down the river. Some of the young girls got out and swam alongside . We even stopped at a natural waterfall that people were sliding down. Part of the river we could see magnificiant Mt Katahdin in the backdrop. 10/10 experience!!!
