Androscoggin River Watershed Council

Improving Aquatic Habitat & Supporting Water Recreation

Caution

Due to the extreme drought throughout most of the Androscoggin Watershed, boating on the Androscoggin River and most tributaries may involve portaging over or around sand bars, muddy areas, or rapids. Water levels are lower than they have been in five decades.

The Androscoggin River Watershed Council improves environmental quality, encourages stewardship, and promotes healthy communities in the Androscoggin Watershed.

Brook trout habitat restoration is a key part of our work on the Androscoggin River. Working with a partnership of organizations devoted to restoring and maintaining brook trout habitat, we have undertaken several projects in the Androscoggin watershed.
