About This Access Site
This is a **privately owned access point** on the Magalloway River in Wentworth Location, Coos County. While the landowner allows river access, users are expected to respect the property and use it responsibly. This launch provides convenient access to the scenic upper Magalloway River, which flows through remote North Woods terrain before reaching Umbagog Lake and the Androscoggin River system.

**Practical Information for Paddlers:** The site serves as a good put-in for exploring the Magalloway's upper reaches or longer downstream trips. Nearby take-out options include the Steamer Diamond Boat Launch (a gravel ramp on ME-16 near Errol), the Wildlife Center, or continue paddling to Diamond Landing on the Androscoggin. The area is part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail (Section 8) and offers access to Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge, known for wildlife viewing opportunities and over 10 miles of scenic river and lake paddling.

**Note:** As a private access point, conditions and availability may vary—contact local outfitters or the refuge for current information before your visit.
