Narraguagus River
River in the United States of America
The Narraguagus River is a river located in the U.S. state of Maine with its mouth in the Narraguagus Bay of the Gulf of Maine.[1] It flows through the town of Cherryfield and was formerly well known for its sport fly fishing for Atlantic salmon. This was a traditional highlight of late spring with anglers gathering from afar for the Memorial Day weekend fishing kick-off. The native salmon run has been much reduced due to many different factors.[2]
From the outlet of Eagle Lake (44°59′58″N 68°09′08″W) in Maine Township 34 MD, Hancock County, the river runs 55.3 miles (89.0 km)[3][4] southeast to its mouth in Milbridge, Washington County. During its course, the river passes Lead Mountain before flowing into and out of Beddington Lake.[5]
