Royal River Park to Yarmouth Town Landing

The one-mile segment of the Royal River through downtown Yarmouth, from Royal River Park at East Elm Street to the beginning of the tidal estuary at Yarmouth Town Landing, provides a rich variety of river experience that is highly varied dependent upon water levels. Either end of downtown has accessible boat launches for trips upstream or downstream toward Casco Bay. A remarkable network of shoreline trails and parks along the river provide for a wide range of recreation for all ages. Well-stocked fisheries attract anglers year-round, especially between Sparhawk Mill and Casco Bay.

The dams and waterfalls along this segment create significant portages or expert whitewater opportunities. Conditions in this stretch of the Royal are highly variable depending on recent rainfall and spring melt. Paddlers are strongly advised to check conditions prior to beginning their journey.
