About Kennebago River

Roughly 25 miles from Kennebago Lake through Little Kennebago Lake to Cupsuptic Lake (an arm of Mooselookmeguntic). Famous Rangeley region water for large wild brook trout and wild landlocked Atlantic salmon. Highly restricted access — most of the river borders private sporting camps, with public access at the Route 16 bridge. Fly fishing only on the entire river.
