Dead River (Androscoggin River)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the more commonly-known tributary of the Kennebec River in Maine, see Dead River (Maine).
Coordinates: The Dead River is a tributary of the Androscoggin River in western Maine in the United States. The river flows from Androscoggin Lake, northwest through the town of Leeds approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) to the Androscoggin. This sluggish river is the outlet of a chain of ponds, of which Androscoggin Pond is the largest and last. The river has the rare power of running either way at different times. Upon a sudden rise of the Androscoggin River, the flow sets back the current of Dead River into the pond. It sometimes flows into the pond for three or four days.
