Everything Maine

The stream leading down through the center of the frame is actually part of a man made "fish ladder". In the 1700s a mill blocked the natural path for the Alewife fish to move between Damariscotta Lake and the Damariscotta River. To correct the problem the fish ladder was built. The building in the center of the frame appears to be the remnants of an old fishery, and the small red building on the left is a hydro-electric generating station.
