Pennamaquan River

The Pennamaquan River boat ramp in Pembroke provides public access to the Pennamaquan River Reservoir, a 1,357-acre impoundment in Washington County, Maine. This is a trailered boat launch facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the reservoir and river system. The ramp allows access to a substantial body of water with good recreational opportunities for paddling and fishing.

Paddlers should note that this is a reservoir environment, which typically offers calmer conditions than free-flowing rivers. The area is located in scenic eastern Maine, near several historic attractions including Saint Croix Island International Historic Site and Roosevelt Campobello International Park, making it a good base for exploring the region's cultural heritage along with water recreation. For current boating regulations, water conditions, and any specific amenities or fees, check Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife resources before your visit.
