Review:
Winding its way across southwest Maine and northeast New Hampshire, the Saco River supplies 35 towns with drinking water and has historically provided water power and transportation that fostered the development of several cities in the area. Today, the river also offers many opportunities for outdoor recreation, particularly during the summer months along the stretch from Brownfield, Maine to Swan’s Falls. Several sand beaches can be found along the Saco River, along with areas for camping. Canoeing and sport fishing are also popular river activities, with several places to rent canoes located nearby. Walker’s Rip is one area best for experienced canoeists.
