An amazing Alewive Fish Ladder in Damariscotta Mills, Maine!
Let's check out this amazingly beautiful 69 pool Alewive fish ladder. Come watch tens of thousands of fish up close as they try to climb up 42 feet from the salty Damariscotta River to reach the fresh water of Damariscotta Lake.
Alewives are 'anadromous' fish which means they live most of their life in sea water but return to fresh water to spawn and lay their eggs before returning back to sea. Rebuilt between 2007 and 2017, the fish ladder has been there since 1807. It's one of the interesting best kept secrets of the Maine coast.
Please share, like and comment to help me produce more of these shows. Thanks!

Old Town, Maine. Let's check out this Maine paper mill town....we will be visiting the revitalized mill along with going downtown and chatting with a couple local residents. Its a great place on the Penobscot River with a lot of history. A town that's a little bit off the beaten path but it's a classic and that's why I like it.

Let's visit a traditional Maine camp in the wild woolies of Downeast Maine...plus do a bit of sightseeing....9 miles of dirt roads and 6 miles of snowmobile trails to get there! Hold on to your snowmobile and we'll check out the Maine woods. Some friends of mine invited me for a visit to their isolated family camp this past winter and I took them up on it. I drove to Bangor and kept going north...

    Reallly nice looking fishing ladder, much nicer than the one near our town in MA. Thanks for the overhead shots ( the ladder is obscured by tree leaves in satellite photos) and for sharing this story.

    I spent three winters building those pools for the company I was working for. Most people have no idea how much work it took to build that ladder, all by hand.

    My hometown. It’s rather depressing to see how run down it is now. Hopefully it will somehow find life again

      I've been working at the old town mill close to when it reopened as ND. They have a 100 year plan to keep the mill open and operational. There's hope. I'd like to see it prosper again as well. ✌

    Hi Mark. First time I saw your videos. It was nice to see my home town. Only criticism is the sketchy camera work in places.

    Loved this. My father lived in Newcastle for 50+ years. Always heard about the alewives but only saw a glimpse of the ladder. This was beautifully done. Thank you.

    Time to get that chip in your windshield fixed. Call Dye Team, Dan Woodrow, in Northport. Oh! Nice job on the Old Town story, my wife's old stomping grounds, she having been raised in Milford.
