LEWISTON, Maine — As the public seeks outdoor activities in accordance with CDC and state guidelines, Brookfield Renewable reminds members of the public to use safe recreation practices when it comes to fishing, boating or being near water and hydroelectric facilities along the Androscoggin River.

In addition to recent weather events, the Androscoggin River is characteristically subject to high flows and dangerous rapids from April through mid-May due to seasonal runoff and snowmelt. Currents are exponentially stronger in the spring in comparison to summer months. Alerts for high flow events are routinely posted at Brookfield Renewable’s flow information website, safewaters.com
