Maine Rivers & Streams

Maine has more than 5,000 rivers and streams covering some 37,000 miles. They provide about half of the watershed to the Gulf of Maine. "River" is not a precise term and can include everything from a vast waterway to a gentle brook. For the purposes of this site, river means water which flows- with enough volume most of the year to allow navigation by an outboard motorboat. Search for Riverfront Properties

There are 6 major rivers in Maine:

Penobscot - 350 miles
St . John - 211 miles
Androscoggin - 175 miles
Kennebec - 150 miles
Saco - 104 miles
St. Croix - 75 miles

Unlike lakes, rivers are not static. They are constantly changing in volume, water temperature, and, in the case of coastal rivers, even direction as the tides rise and fall.

Fishing. One of the primary attractions of Maine's rivers and streams, beyond their sheer beauty, is fishing. They offer a much greater diversity of fish species than lakes or ponds, including migrating salt water fish in many of the coastal rivers. River fishing, because of its changeability, is also a much more challenging undertaking.

Maine's many estuaries, where fresh and salt water come together, provide very important ecosystems for marine life, including soft-shelled clams and an amazing variety of shorebirds. From southwest to northeast, the tidal range can be from 9 up to 26 vertical feet. So what appears to be an exquisite little cove at high tide can turn into a barren mudflat at low tide.

Paddling. Maine boasts almost unlimited paddling opportunities. Canoeists and kayakers can roam from southern Maine to the coast to the northwoods and never be hard up for a place to put in. Maine's waterways are how the region's first peoples got around, and it was an epic 325-mile canoe trip in 1857 that won over Maine's first great tourism promoter-one Henry David Thoreau. He had a Wabanaki guide; you can hook up with a scout of your own via the Maine Professional Guides Association at maineguides.org.

White Water Rafting in Maine is an adventure and an experience you will never forget. Anyone with an appetite for the outdoors will enjoy a rafting trip in Maine. In fact, Maine is known all over for its plentiful dam released water, breathtaking scenery along your raft trip and great Maine guides. While some may be hesitant to the idea of white water rafting, it's an activity for a wide range of ages as young as 8 and as seasoned as 75 years old, with very little physical fitness requirements and no prior experience rafting necessary. It's the ultimate theme park ride brought to you, compliments of Mother Nature and your adventuresome outfitter guides.

Some 25,000 years ago, Maine was covered with ice thousands of feet thick. Since the big melt of that Ice Age, which formed the many peninsulas, great bays and islands of the coast of Maine, since the Pilgrims' very first landing in the New World on this "rockbound coast" (not at Plymouth), since the mid-1800's when coastal steamers and trains began bringing summer visitors - the coastline of Maine has remained one of the most spectacular regions in the entire world, its natural beauty largely unspoiled by man or time. This is what has made the Maine oceanfront property so popular. To get a small taste of Maine's coast, click on the video below:

The coast of Maine, measured directly from one end to the other, is only 228 miles. So, many people are surprised to learn that Maine's shoreline (3,478 miles) is longer than California's (3,427 miles) and is only exceeded in length by 2 continental states, Florida (8,426 miles) and Louisiana (7,721 miles of mostly bayou country). This very long coastline provides a wide variety Maine oceanfront real estate.

Additionally, Maine's coast has close to 3000 offshore islands - from small granite ledges to Mount Desert Island which encompasses Acadia National Park. Many of these islands represent the tops of mountains formed before the Ice Ages. Most are uninhabited by humans, but all are natural habitats for small sea life, seals, sea birds, plants and animals. Some have thriving villages serviced by daily ferry service from the mainland. A few have only lighthouses. About 1,200 islands comprise an acre or more; roughly 600 of these, representing 95% of Maine's total island acreage, are owned by individuals. An exciting way to visit some of these islands is by taking a Windjammer cruise - to see what this would be like, click on the video below:

There are 3 distinct regions to Maine's coastal landscape. Three-fourths of all visitors to Maine stay along the coastline and more than half of these go to the SOUTH COAST, with its long, white sandy beaches interspersed with rocky cliffs and resort villages. This region stretches from the Piscatagua River to Portland's Casco Bay and includes the Yorks, Ogunquit, Kennebunkport and Old Orchard Beach. The MIDCOAST region, the area from Portland to the head of Penobscot Bay, is made up of a series narrow, rocky peninsulas jutting out into the Gulf of Maine, each with its own feel and character. The DOWN EAST COAST, from the Penobscot River to the Canadian border, is similar in geography to the midcoast area with many outstretched fingers of rocky land and offshore islands, but with a much more remote feel and unhurried tempo.

For people wishing to explore this dramatic coastline and learn more about its history - which will help make the process of choosing the right oceanfront property in Maine easier - we recommend the Maine Maritime Heritage Trail and/or the Maine Island Trail. The Maine Maritime Heritage Trail has points of interest all along the length of the Maine coast. The Maine Island Trail is a boating trail along 325 miles of public and private islands. Exploring these will also give you a better knowledge of the Maine coastal property. To get an idea of what experiencing this trail would be like, click on the video below:

Maine Lakes & Ponds

"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is the earth's eye, looking into which we measure the depth of our own nature." - Henry David Thoreau

If you are thinking of buying a Maine lakefront property, then you already know that Maine's lakes are one of the major glories of this state so richly endowed by nature. How many Americans have childhood memories of going to camp on a Maine lake? This is precisely why Maine lakefront real estate is in such high demand.

"Land of 1000 Lakes" is a familiar term - a claim made by Minnesota, Ontario Canada, Finland, Poland and even Lithuania, just to name a few. While this claim is not made by Maine, a quick glance at the map will confirm that the landscape is liberally dotted by lakes and ponds. In fact, there are 5,785 of them that are larger than 1 acre, covering 1,762 square miles! Nearly half of these are classified as "Great Ponds", meaning larger than 10 acres, a term that dates back to Maine's colonial days.

These lakes not only provide an unmatched recreational resource for fishing, swimming, canoeing and camping but, more importantly, they provide quiet places of raw beauty where people can slow down the pace of their lives and listen to the haunting cry of a loon or watch Canadian geese glide in for a rest stop on their long journey.

Do you want to find your own place on a Maine lake? A good way to start is with a PROPERTY SEARCH. We will email you all the current Maine lake homes for sale that meet your exact criteria.
