Gorham Hydroelectric Station

On Androscoggin River

The Androscoggin River runs through New Hampshire and Maine. It begins in Errol, New Hampshire, where the Magalloway River joins the outlet of Umbagog Lake. From there it flows generally south, with many bends, past Errol, Milan and the city of Berlin. At Gorham it turns east, cuts across the northern end of the White Mountains and enters Maine. It joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay after a course of about 178 miles. About 50 miles of the river lie in New Hampshire. The river drops an average of eight feet per mile, and that water power helped Berlin grow. Paper mills and other industry once polluted it heavily. A USGS stream gauge sits below the dam at Errol, where the river drains 1,046 square miles. More about Androscoggin River.
