Column: Explore the Kennebec River from Hallowell to Augusta

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • June 25, 2023

Paddle in the wake of Kennebec River history on a 3-mile trip up to Augusta from the beautiful riverside town of Hallowell. You will be plying waters sailed on by Benedict Arnold on his 1775 journey to Quebec City, and waters gazed out over by General Winfield Scott in 1838. Scott was sent to the Augusta Arsenal to deescalate the heated border dispute between Maine and Canada. ~ Michael Perry
