About This Access Site
This take-out site on the Androscoggin River in Durham provides access to one of Maine's major river systems. The Androscoggin is a large river with an average flow of nearly 7000 cubic feet per second and maintains a consistent gradient of 6.6 feet per mile. At this location, paddlers should expect moderate to fast current conditions typical of a large river with significant flow volume. The river's stream order of 6 indicates a well-established waterway with substantial water volume and velocity, making it suitable for experienced paddlers.
As a take-out location, this site serves as an egress point for trips originating upstream on the Androscoggin. The average velocity of 4.4 feet per second means paddlers will experience noticeable current that aids in downstream travel. The river's total elevation drop of 1249 feet over its 188-mile length creates dynamic water conditions. Boaters using this take-out should be experienced with moving water and prepared for the river's flow characteristics.
The Androscoggin drains a watershed of 3527 square miles and flows approximately 206 miles to its mouth. This site in Durham places paddlers in the lower-to-middle section of the river system where water volume and current are well-established. Plan accordingly for a moving water experience and ensure you have proper whitewater paddling skills before attempting runs on this section of the Androscoggin.
