East Machias River

The East Machias River in Maine is a 36-mile-long whitewater river in Washington County, flowing from Crawford Lake to Machias Bay. With Class I-III rapids, it is ideal for canoeing and kayaking, surrounded by pristine nature. The river supports fish populations such as Atlantic salmon and river herring, making it attractive to anglers. Since the removal of the last weir in 1973, it has flowed freely, supporting a delicate ecosystem protected by conservation initiatives.
