Wild River (Androscoggin River)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wild River is a 17.2 mile long (27.6 km) river in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Maine in the United States. It is a tributary of the Androscoggin River, which flows east and south to the Kennebec River near the Atlantic Ocean.

The Wild River rises at No Ketchum Pond in the township of Bean's Purchase, New Hampshire and flows northeast through a mountain valley separating the Carter-Moriah range to the northwest and the Baldface-Royce mountains to the southeast. The river reaches Maine Highway 113 near the site known as Hastings, then turns north paralleling the highway to reach the Androscoggin River at Gilead, Maine.
