Anyone fishing, boating or being near water and hydroelectric facilities along the Androscoggin River is asked to use safe practices. In addition to recent weather events, the Androscoggin River is subject to high flows and dangerous rapids from April through mid-May due to seasonal runoff and snowmelt, according to Brookfield Renewable. Currents are exponentially stronger in the spring in comparison to summer. Alerts for high flow events are routinely posted at Brookfield Renewable’s flow information website, safewaters.com.
