A summer tradition: In the Source to the Sea Trek, Mainers and visitors paddle the Androscoggin River from Lake Umbagog Refuge to Brunswick, ME. A record 350 paddlers took part in the 17th annual Trek in July and August. Because of the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, the whole river is now accessible to the public, and paddling-related businesses that provide jobs for our economy.
