Smelt Hill Dam Removed ...
Lower Presumpscot River Flows Free !!!
............. 
The left photo shows a newly exposed riffle section on the lower Presumpscot
River at the high bridge over the river, approx. 1.5 miles above the site
of the former Smelt Hill Dam, Falmouth, Maine.
The right photo shows the lower Piscataqua River, a principal tributary
of the lower Presumpscot River in Falmouth. A substantial section of this
river was impounded by the Smelt Hill Dam as well. The former water level
can be seen at the tree line in the upper right of the photo.
