Once a renowned salmon pool, “Cable Pool” was named for the overhead cable system that was used to monitor and manage Atlantic salmon populations. Today, the park serves as a peaceful gathering spot for residents and visitors. With picnic areas, benches, and direct access to the river, it's ideal for fishing, quiet reflection, and enjoying the scenic Downeast landscape.
The Downeast Salmon Federation (DSF) oversees this project, including the construction of a new salmon-friendly dam.

It is the vision of the National Scenic Byway Foundation that our nation’s byways will be recognized and valued worldwide for their distinctive experiences, stories and treasured places.
Characterized by rocky coastlines, the Bold Coast National Scenic Byway provides an opportunity to experience the unique beauty, culture, history, and recreational opportunities of Downeast Maine and Coastal Washington County.
