Description

From Crawford Notch in the White Mountains to Saco Bay in the Atlantic Ocean, the Saco River flows through some of the most scenic land in the Northeast. This freshly revised map and guide--updated for the first time since 2002--charts the Saco River's 136-mile course across eastern New Hampshire and southern Maine. A longtime canoe and kayak destination, the river also has become a hot spot for tubing, swimming, whitewater paddling, fishing, and camping. This guide provides a mile-by-mile breakdown of recreation features along the way, with river access points, equipment outfitters, boat ramps, campgrounds, riverside hiking and biking trails, and ranger stations all identified on-map, as well as dams and areas of intermediate to advanced whitewater. In addition to recreation recommendations and safety and planning information, this map and guide also foregrounds river health, water quality, and wilderness ethics, helping all users better care for this popular natural resource and safeguard its continued use for future generations. Waterproof and tear-resistant, Saco River Map & Guide is a quintessential before-you-go planning tool and an invaluable companion once you're on the water.
