Description:
The Webhannet River, the main estuary in Wells that empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The river offers wide, expansive views of surrounding wetlands that span delightfully to the horizon. Wells offers a nice boat launch which is conveniently located near Webhannet River Kayak Rentals (345 Harbor Road in Wells). The Webhannet River itself features a small harbor with pleasure craft and fishing and lobster boats bobbing in the calm waters. Moving along, you enter the river with commanding wetlands scenery surrounding you on all sides. Seafaring birds abound in this area and you'll also likely see frogs, otters and other wildlife. The shoreline features cliff-like exposed rock and soil. Given the slow moving current here, it is possible to sit back, relax and enjoy the view.
