About Back River

Back River is a public boat ramp in Lincoln County, Maine, on Back River. From here SeaStatus scores 9 waters: Cross River, Montsweag Brook, Parsons Creek, Ward Brook, Sheepscot River (Segment 2 of 4), Back River (Segment 3 of 4), and 3 more.

The main water here is Coastal Waters from Port Clyde, ME to Cape Elizabeth, ME out 25 NM (Area 2 of 7). Nearshore water is scored mostly on wind and wave height, with wave steepness and the tidal current counting too. A current running against the wind is treated as worse than either one alone.
