About Penobscot River

Penobscot River is a public boat ramp in Penobscot County, Maine, on Penobscot River. From here SeaStatus scores 4 waters: Mill Creek, Penobscot River (Segment 1 of 3), Penobscot River (Segment 2 of 3) and Penobscot Bay (Area 3 of 4).

The main water here is Mill Creek. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8414781, Winterport, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.4 mi from this ramp.
