On Pleasant River

The Pleasant River is a river in Washington County, Maine. It starts at the outflow of Pleasant River Lake in Beddington and runs 44.8 miles south, east and then south to Pleasant Bay. Its mouth lies on the border between Harrington and Addison. Its tributaries include the West Branch Pleasant River, the Little River, the Western Little River and Taylor Branch. The head of tide is at Columbia Falls, where the falls drop into a pool about half a mile across. Above the falls the river is fresh water stained brown by tannins. Below them it runs through salt marsh and tidal water. A small hydroelectric dam owned by the Pleasant River Hydroelectric Company once blocked the falls. Starting in 1989, the Downeast Salmon Federation worked to have it removed. The 1,920-acre Pleasant Bay Wildlife Management Area lies along the river's east side near Addison.
