	NHDES Watershed Management Bureau: Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMPP)
		Because the Saco River flows primarily through the White Mountain National Forest, the continued presence of a large contiguous forested riparian habitat, capable of supporting a diversity of wildlife species, is assured.
		A 1983 Saco River Basin Study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture listed that 56 species of mammals, 165 species of birds, 32 species of amphibians and reptiles, and 36 species of fish are supported by the river and the surrounding forest habitat.
		Historically, the Saco River was one of the premier trout fishing rivers in the Northeast.

		In the 1800s, the Saco River served as an integral harbor and port-of-entry for the textile mills of Saco and Biddeford.
		The Corps has also dredged extensively to maintain a navigable inlet at the Scarborough River at the northern end of Saco Bay (Table 3), however the majority of dredged material was discarded through offshore disposal.
		In 1991, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and City of Saco requested a study by the Corps under Section 111 of the River and Harbor Act of 1968 (PL 90-483), suggesting that the northern jetty of the Saco River navigation project was responsible for erosion problems in the area.

		The Saco River and its tributaries are used by thousands of people from throughout the Northeast annually for canoeing, kayaking and rafting.

		The Saco River runs 134 miles from Saco Lake, a small, unassuming pond off US 302, at the head of Crawford Notch in the town of Carroll and then on into Bartlett, winding through Conway and all the way to Camp Ellis in Saco, Maine, where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean.
		The river is slower in Maine, due to the slight elevation change — 383 feet for the entire state — and the six hydropower stations along the river.
		The Saco River in NH is one of the most pristine, beautiful rivers in the Northeastern US offering great swimming, fishing, boating, camping and some of the most stunning scenery in the White Mountains.

	The Nature Conservancy in Maine - St. John River
		Gathering strength from its tributary streams and rivers, the St. John grows mile by mile from an over-sized stream at the outlet of Baker Lake to a major river full of challenges and surprises.
		Inevitably, pressures build and ice jams are breached, tossing house-sized blocks of ice into the forest and sending massive shards hurtling downstream to sweep away trees, scour banks clear of vegetation and reshape the river's shoreline in a brutal cycle thousands of years old.
		The Conservancy's vision for the upper St. John River watershed is one in which its most important natural features and recreational lands are permanently preserved for the people of Maine, and where compatibly managed forests provide habitat for Maine's wildlife as well as economic opportunities for the region.

		The Saco River serves as a water supply for the citizens and industry of Saco, Biddeford, Old Orchard Beach and part of Scarborough.
		However, because the river is clean and flows close to metropolitan areas, the valley has seen a dramatic increase in recreational use, especially by campers and canoeists, and attracted the speculative eye of developers, who, perhaps unknowingly, have threatened the core of valley existence.

		While the upper reaches of the Saco River around Fryeburg are well known and heavily used by canoeists and kayakers, the section of this great river that passes through Biddeford and Saco is just as beautiful and much more lightly used.
		The expanse of river backed up behind the dam provides a lake or pond-like paddling experience, but one with plenty of nooks and crannies in which one might poke their bow or cast a line for perch and bass.
		This six-mile section of the river is slightly more challenging, particularly for canoeists and particularly near the mouth of the river where the tidal surge creates a very powerful current.
