MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • November 14, 2021
Given our moderating climate here in the Northeast, November is becoming a glorious extension of October. We are ending our paddling season in a blaze of late season colors on two of the eastern tributaries of the Sheepscot River in Newcastle. The put-in is adjacent to the Route 1 picnic area in Newcastle. A rough road leads along the south side of the highway to a small concrete boat ramp next to the bridge over the river. You will want to time your outing with the tide. Paddle between the hours of three hours before and after high tide. At low water the mud takes over. ~ Michael Perry
