About This Location
The Machias River, one of Maine’s wildest and most treasured waterways, runs for 76 miles from Fifth Machias Lake to tidewater in downtown Machias. The State is in charge of stewardship and recreational usage along its practically unbroken shoreline, thanks to a remarkable initiative that has safeguarded over 60,000 acres in the Machias River watershed–the country’s largest, self-sustaining wild Atlantic salmon run.
This landscape-scale conservation initiative, which lasted over a decade, successfully protected 252 miles of river and shore frontage from development and subdivision, while also guaranteeing that the region’s working woods could continue to contribute to the local economy. Recreational access is guaranteed indefinitely, contributing to the preservation of a scenic and popular backcountry canoe route (paddlers consider it more accessible than the St. John and less heavily used than the Allagash).
