The Presumpscot River is located in southern Maine, flowing through the towns of Windham, Gorham, and Westbrook before emptying into Casco Bay. It spans approximately 25 miles and is known for its scenic beauty and recreational opportunities, including fishing, kayaking, and hiking along its banks.
Historically, the river was significant for the Native American tribes in the region, who relied on its resources. The river's name is derived from the Abenaki language, meaning "the place where the water is long." Today, the Presumpscot River is also recognized for its ecological importance and efforts to restore its natural habitats.
