The temperatures are officially hot, and that means we're all looking for different ways to cool off without breaking a sweat. One of the great ways to do that in Maine is by river tubing. Everyone and their mother knows about tubing down the Saco River.

In fact, everyone and their mother is probably planning a Saco trip right now. But there are other rivers in Maine to float on that are far less busy and still offer the same peaceful relaxation as the Saco.

That's where Bethel Outdoor Adventure and Campground comes in. The company offers a hassle-free chance to float down a portion of the Androscoggin River for just $30. The price  includes free parking on-site, a life jacket for your trip, and a shuttle ride to the put-in location. If price isn't a concern, there's a variety of upgrades that can be added to your trip.

This upgrades include a cooler float to place all of your refreshments in so they're readily available and chilled during your three-hour float. There's also premium floats that feature a back rest, as well as double floats for you to ride side-by-side with the person of your choice.

Additionally, if floating sounds a little too tame for you, you can do the same river trip in a kayak or stand-up paddle board at differing rates. And if all of that sounds totally exhausting to you, Bethel Outdoor Adventure and Campground offers several different camping options, including RV and tent sites to complete your outdoor excursion with a peaceful rest under the stars.
