Penobscot River
The United States government maintains three river flow gages on the Penobscot river . The first is on the East Branch in Grindstone ( an unincorporated settlement approximately 10 miles ( 16 km ) south of Stacyville ) ( 45 ° 43 ′ 49 '' N 68 ° 35 ′ 22 '' W ﻿ / ﻿ 45.73028 ° N 68.58944 ° W ﻿ / 45.73028 ; - 68.58944 ﻿ ( Grindstone ) ) where the rivershed is 1,086 square miles ( 2,810 km ) . Flow here has ranged from 400 to 1,300 cubic feet per second ( 37 m / s ) . The second is in West Enfield ( 45 ° 14 ′ 12 '' N 68 ° 38 ′ 57 '' W ﻿ / ﻿ 45.23667 ° N 68.64917 ° W ﻿ / 45.23667 ; - 68.64917 ﻿ ( West Enfield ) ) where the rivershed is 6,671 square miles ( 17,280 km ) . Flow here has ranged from 4,410 to 9,660 cubic feet per second ( 274 m / s ) . The third is in Eddington ( 45 ° 14 ′ 12 '' N 68 ° 38 ′ 57 '' W ﻿ / ﻿ 45.23667 ° N 68.64917 ° W ﻿ / 45.23667 ; - 68.64917 ﻿ ( Eddington ) ) , 0.4 miles ( 0.64 km ) downstream from the Veazie Dam where the rivershed is 7,764 square miles ( 20,110 km ) .
Penobscot River
In the 19th century the river was a conduit for the transport of logs from Maine 's Great North Woods , to be sawn into lumber at mills around Old Town and Orono , and transported on ships from Bangor , at the head of tide . ( The average high tide at Bangor is 13 feet ( 4 m ) as of 2009 . ) A secondary economic use made of the river late in the century was as a source of sawn ice for urban markets .
Androscoggin River
The Androscoggin River is a river in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire , in northern New England . It is 178 miles ( 286 km ) long and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine before its water empties into the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic Ocean . Its drainage basin is 3,530 square miles ( 9,100 km ) in area . The name `` Androscoggin '' comes from the Eastern Abenaki term / aləssíkɑntəkw / or / alsíkɑntəkw / , meaning `` river of cliff rock shelters '' ( literally `` thus - deep - dwelling - river '' ) ; or perhaps from Penobscot / aləsstkɑtəkw / , meaning `` river of rock shelters '' . The Anglicization of the Abenaki term is likely an analogical contamination with the colonial governor Edmund Andros .
Penobscot River
The first permanent English settler on the river was Joshua Treat ( 1726 -- 1802 ) , who was initially the armorer and translator at Fort Pownall . His oldest son , Joshua Treat , Jr. , built a log house and sawmill at Marsh Bay in what is now Frankfort , and other members of their extended family , joined by additional settlers from Massachusetts and New Hampshire , pushed ever further up - river , eventually restricting the Penobscot people to Indian Island Old Town , Maine , the present Penobscot Indian Reservation .

In 1669 , the Mohawk tribe made raids from the west that were very destructive to the Penobscot people . During Father Rale 's War , the English settlers in Massachusetts also sent periodic raiding parties to the Penobscot , destroying the primary native village in 1723 . In a treaty of 1752 , however , Massachusetts laid claim to the entire Penobscot watershed , and in 1759 the Pownall Expedition , led by Governor Thomas Pownall , established Fort Pownall on Cape Jellison in what is now Stockton Springs . This signaled the beginning of English domination , and the incorporation of the Penobscot River valley into New England . The
Penobscot River
Some of the river 's rapids are class IV or even V , making this one of the roughest rivers in the area , which attracts many whitewater rafters . Until 1971 the West Branch was the main thoroughfare for the Great Northern Paper Company to sluice its logs to its mill in Millinocket , Maine . In 1971 Great Northern opened the Golden Road ( Maine ) for transporting the logs . The road parallels the river . The paper industry has been greatly diminished and the Millinocket mill is in the process of being torn down . The road now is extensively used by sportsmen on the river .
Penobscot River
The West Branch is home to many types of fish such as landlocked salmon and Brook Trout . There are many deep pools within the river , due to the many slate ledges , making the river ideal for fishing from shore , though there are still areas that are good for canoe fishing . The river is great for a day fishing trip , however there are a few campsites located sporadically around for people who wish to stay more than one day . With the Ripogenus Dam by Chesuncook Lake , the West Branch is able to sustain the large landlocked salmon found there , with twelve miles of heavy rapids , deep runs , large pools , and slower moving water in some sections . Baxter State Park to the north adds to the natural beauty of the area , and natural protection as well .
Penobscot River
In the 21st century , with the continuing decline of the Maine paper industry , and the divestiture of its woodlands , the Penobscot watershed is becoming more and more associated with recreational use ( fishing , hunting , boating , and tourism ) and less with manufacturing . Demolition began on the Great Works Dam in 2012 , and the Veazie Dam in 2013 . A fish ladder has also been installed at Milford Dam . This has led to an increase in the number of Atlantic Salmon , Shad , and other fish species in the river . The
Penobscot River
During the American Revolutionary War , the river and bay were the site of the disastrous 1779 Penobscot Expedition , where an entire American fleet was destroyed in a botched attempt to retake Maine from the British . During the War of 1812 , the British again invaded Maine and defeated an American force at the Battle of Hampden , sacking the town of Bangor in the process . To prevent this from happening a third time , and because the nearby boundary between the United States and British Canada was still contested into the 1840s , the Federal government in 1844 began constructing a huge granite fort , Fort Knox , opposite the town of Bucksport , near the mouth of the river . The fort never fired a shot in anger , but remains one of the Penobscot 's major man - made landmarks .

Henry David Thoreau published an account of travelling up the Penobscot from Bangor in 1846 , to climb Mount Katahdin in his work , Ktaadn . Author Stephen King placed his fictional town of Derry , Maine on the Penobscot . The Penobscot is also featured in the film adaptation of the Tom Clancy novel The Hunt for Red October as the location chosen in which to hide the Soviet Typhoon class submarine from spy satellites . A portion of the Annie Proulx novel Barkskins takes place in Penobscot bay .
Penobscot River
Most historians have accepted the Penobscot region as Jean Allefonsce 's source for Norumbega , though the matter was hotly contested by some nineteenth century antiquarians , who argued that the name should be identified with their own river or region .

Penobscot River
In the 20th century , lumbering was largely supplanted by papermaking , in the form of large wood pulp and paper mills located all along the river from Millinocket and East Millinocket in the north , to South Brewer and Bucksport in the south . Wood pulp and paper mills create dioxins as a byproduct of the chlorine bleaching process in making paper . This substance was discharged from seven mills located close to the Tribal community of Penobscot people , along the Penobscot river . Dioxins , which are highly potent toxic chemicals that may cause cancer and other health problems , were being poured daily into this adjacent river , the Penobscot . A Penobscot woman , Rebecca Sockbeson , a Penobscot , is quoted saying that her people have survived on fish from this river , but `` now we are dying from it . '' She continued on to say that `` neither dioxin nor cancer is indigenous to the Penobscot people , however they are both pervasive in my tribal community . '' The health and survival of the Penobscot people is further threatened by the impact that persistent organic pollutants ( POPs ) have on reproduction and the health of their children . Sockbeson concludes that a treaty is required to ensure that `` the breast and spoon we feed our babies with is not filled with cancer , diabetes , learning disabilities , and attention deficit ( disorder ) . ''

Blackstone River
The river is formed in Worcester , Massachusetts by the confluence of the Middle River and Mill Brook . From there , it follows a rough southeast course through Millbury , Sutton , Grafton , Northbridge , Uxbridge , Millville , and Blackstone . It then continues into Rhode Island , where it flows through Woonsocket , Cumberland , Lincoln , Central Falls , and Pawtucket , where the river then reaches Pawtucket Falls . After that , the river becomes tidal , and flows into the Seekonk River just north of Providence . Other tributaries join the Blackstone along the way , such as the West and Mumford River , at Uxbridge , and The Branch River in North Smithfield .

Hudson River
South of the confluence of Indian Pass Brook and Calamity Brook , the Hudson River flows south into Sanford Lake . South of the outlet of the lake , the Opalescent River flows into the Hudson . The Hudson then flows south , taking in Beaver Brook and the outlet of Lake Harris . After its confluence with the Indian River , the Hudson forms the boundary between Essex and Hamilton counties . In the hamlet of North River , the Hudson flows entirely in Warren County and takes in the Schroon River . Further south , the river forms the boundary between Warren and Saratoga Counties . The river then takes in the Sacandaga River from the Great Sacandaga Lake . Shortly thereafter , the river leaves the Adirondack Park , flows under Interstate 87 , and through Glens Falls , just south of Lake George although receiving no streamflow from the lake . It next goes through Hudson Falls . At this point the river forms the boundary between Washington and Saratoga Counties . Here the river has an altitude of 200 feet . Just south in Fort Edward , the river reaches its confluence with the Champlain Canal , which historically provided boat traffic between New York City and Montreal and the rest of Eastern Canada via the Hudson , Lake Champlain and the Saint Lawrence Seaway . Further south the Hudson takes in water from the Batten Kill River and Fish Creek near Schuylerville . The river then forms the boundary between Saratoga and Rensselaer counties . The river then enters the heart of the Capital District . It takes in water from the Hoosic River , which extends into Massachusetts . Shortly thereafter the river has its confluence with the Mohawk River , the largest tributary of the Hudson River , in Waterford . The river then reaches the Federal Dam in Troy , marking an impoundment of the river . At an elevation of 2 feet ( 0.61 m ) , the bottom of the dam marks the beginning of the tidal influence in the Hudson as well as the beginning of the lower Hudson River .

Androscoggin River
The Androscoggin River is a popular fishing destination for anglers seeking brook , rainbow and brown trout , as well as landlocked salmon and smallmouth bass . The upper reaches near Errol , New Hampshire , are popular with local and visiting fly fishermen for the chance to catch landlocked salmon from a drift boat . Although the upper reaches contain some bass , the river warms as it flows into Maine , and smallmouth bass are the chief quarry in its lower reaches .
Androscoggin River
The Androscoggin was once heavily polluted by a variety of textile mills , paper mills , and other industries located along its banks , and helped inspire the Clean Water Act . Although the river has benefited greatly from environmental work and the departure of certain types of industry from the region , recent EPA test results indicate unacceptably high levels of mercury - contaminated wastewater are still being discharged into the river from numerous paper mills . One environmentalist group has cited the results in calling the Androscoggin one of the 20 most polluted rivers in America . One 14 - mile ( 23 km ) stretch requires oxygen bubblers to prevent fish from suffocating . As of May 2007 , environmental groups had a lawsuit pending , in an attempt to force the paper mills located along the river to clean their waste streams . Companies have resisted , citing cost .
Paul Revere
Late the next day British sails were spotted . A mad scramble ensued , and on the 14th the fleet was in retreat heading up the Penobscot River . Revere and his men were put ashore with their stores , and their transports destroyed . At one point Brigadier General Peleg Wadsworth ordered Revere to send his barge in an attempt to recover a ship drifting toward the enemy position . Revere at first resisted , but eventually complied , and Wadsworth told him to expect formal charges over the affair . The incident separated Revere from his men . Moving overland , he eventually managed to regroup most of his troops , and returned to Boston on August 26 . A variety of charges were made against Revere , some of which were exaggerated assignments of blame made by enemies he had made in his command at Castle William . The initial hearings on the matter in September 1779 were inconclusive , but he was asked to resign his post . He repeatedly sought a full court - martial to clear his name , but it was not until February 1782 that a court martial heard the issue , exonerating him .
Colony of Virginia
On May 31 , 1607 , about 100 men and boys left England for what is now Maine . Approximately three months later , the group landed on a wooded peninsula where the Kennebec River meets the Atlantic Ocean and began building Fort St. George . By the end of the year , due to limited resources , half of the colonists returned to England . Late the next year , the remaining 45 sailed home , and the Plymouth company fell dormant . Charter
Yadkin River
The Yadkin River is one of the longest rivers in North Carolina , flowing 215 miles ( 346 km ) . It rises in the northwestern portion of the state near the Blue Ridge Parkway 's Thunder Hill Overlook . Several parts of the river are impounded by dams for water , power , and flood control . The river becomes the Pee Dee River at the confluence of the Uwharrie River south of the community of Badin , NC and east of the town of Albemarle , NC . The river flows into South Carolina near Cheraw , which is at the Fall Line . The entirety of the Yadkin River and the Great Pee Dee River is part of the Yadkin - Pee Dee River Basin .
It (2017 film)
Production designer Mara LePere - Schloop went to Bangor , Maine , to scope out locations , including the Thomas Hill Standpipe , the land running alongside the Kenduskeag Stream that in It is called The Barrens , and the Waterworks on the Penobscot River . LePere - Schloop said that they were hoping to shoot some scenes in the city , and possibly take some aerial shots . On May 31 , 2016 , Third Act Productions was confirmed to have applied to film interior and exterior scenes for It in the municipality of Port Hope , with filming slated for various locations around the municipality from July 11 , 2016 to July 18 , 2016 . Principal photography begun in Toronto , with an original shooting schedule from June 27 to September 6 , 2016 .
Delaware River
The Delaware River rises in two main branches that descend from the western flank of the Catskill Mountains in New York . The West Branch begins near Mount Jefferson in the Town of Jefferson in Schoharie County . The river 's East Branch begins at Grand Gorge near Roxbury in Delaware County . These two branches flow west and merge near Hancock in Delaware County , and the combined waters flow as the Delaware River south . Through its course , the Delaware River forms the boundaries between Pennsylvania and New York , the entire boundary between New Jersey and Pennsylvania , and most of the boundary between Delaware and New Jersey . The river meets tide - water at the junction of Morrisville , Pennsylvania , and Trenton , New Jersey , at the Falls of the Delaware . The river 's navigable , tidal section served as a conduit for shipping and transportation that aided the development of the industrial cities of Trenton , Camden , and Philadelphia . The mean freshwater discharge of the Delaware River into the estuary of Delaware Bay is 11,550 cubic feet per second ( 327 m / s ) .
Mount Rainier
The Carbon , Puyallup , Mowich , Nisqually , and Cowlitz Rivers begin at eponymous glaciers of Mount Rainier . The sources of the White River are Winthrop , Emmons , and Fryingpan Glaciers . The White , Carbon , and Mowich join the Puyallup River , which discharges into Commencement Bay at Tacoma ; the Nisqually empties into Puget Sound east of Lacey ; and the Cowlitz joins the Columbia River between Kelso and Longview . A

As for which flies hatch when ( in order to use the right flies ) , May to June are usually when mayflies begin their first hatch . Caddisflies also start their massive hatch around this time , but it can extend into the fall at times . Stoneflies tend to hatch throughout the season , and often lead to very big catches . In the West Branch , fishermen are often required to use a variety of different techniques in order to catch the elusive fish .
Delaware River
Similarly , the East Branch begins from a small pond south of Grand Gorge in the town of Roxbury in Delaware County , flowing southwest toward its impoundment by New York City to create the Pepacton Reservoir , the largest reservoir in the New York City water supply system . Its tributaries are the Beaver Kill River and the Willowemoc Creek which enter into the river ten miles ( 16 km ) before the West Branch meets the East Branch . The confluence of the two branches is just south of Hancock .
Snake River
The Snake River is a major river of the greater Pacific Northwest in the United States . At 1,078 miles ( 1,735 km ) long , it is the largest tributary of the Columbia River , the largest North American river that empties into the Pacific Ocean . Rising in western Wyoming , the river flows through the Snake River Plain of southern Idaho , then through the rugged Hells Canyon area via northeastern Oregon and the rolling Palouse Hills , to reach its mouth near the Washington Tri-Cities area , where it enters the Columbia . Its drainage basin encompasses parts of six U.S. states , and its average discharge is over 54,000 cubic feet per second ( 1,500 m / s ) .

The Mississippi River has the world 's fourth - largest drainage basin ( `` watershed '' or `` catchment '' ) . The basin covers more than 1,245,000 square miles ( 3,220,000 km ) , including all or parts of 31 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces . The drainage basin empties into the Gulf of Mexico , part of the Atlantic Ocean . The total catchment of the Mississippi River covers nearly 40 % of the landmass of the continental United States . The highest point within the watershed is also the highest point of the Rocky Mountains , Mount Elbert at 14,440 feet ( 4,400 m ) . Sequence
