Run of River is a proposed whitewater recreation area in and around the Kennebec River Gorge that will enhance quality of life for residents and position Skowhegan as a tourist destination. Elements will include a whitewater park with three features, an expanded and developed four-season trail system, a riverfront promenade, and pristine fishing waters with improved fish habitat.
A strategic community development project designed to improve quality of life and place, Run of River will diversify the economy, spur business development and tourism, create jobs, attract entrepreneurs and new residents, improve health and wellness of citizens, engage local youth, and transform Skowhegan into an even more vibrant, bustling cultural center for years to come.
