The Androscoggin flows through the White Mountains in a broad valley of exceptional beauty. The Thirteen Mile Woods section is one of New England's premier wilderness canoe trips — moose, eagles, and unbroken boreal forest. Below Errol, Class II–III whitewater adds excitement through Pontook Reservoir to Milan.

Data Quality

River conditions are community-verified. CFS ranges, difficulty ratings, and trip sections may not reflect every flow level or seasonal change. Always check current conditions, scout unfamiliar rapids, and paddle within your skill level. If you spot an error, use the Improve This River button at the top of the page — your local knowledge is what makes this atlas accurate.
