Jet on up to Lewiston and Give this tour a Whirl! - Wasn’t expecting actual white water, but we had an amazing time and the staff were very personable and made for a wonderful experience! There was even a small child crying and the attendant (Ashley? Not Susan) sat down with him to help calm him down - well done!
