In partnership with a citizen-led initiative “Voices of the Medomak” (see more info below) and the Waldoboro Recreation Department

A water journey from Dutch Neck Landing to Pine Street Landing, exploring the history, ecology, culture, and economy of the Medomak River. We’ll stop along the way to hear from community members about the river’s evolving role in local life and reflect on how its many facets have interacted over time.

Note: Tandem kayaks and a motorboat will be available to accommodate participants of all ages and abilities.

Part of “Voices of the Medomak”: Creating Community Over Time

Voices of the Medomak is a multi-part, evolving project that blends exploration, experiential learning, creative expression, and emotion. Its aim is to build a deeper sense of community and belonging through connection to place.

As you look out over the Medomak River, its quiet, undeveloped stretches offer a deep sense of solitude. But look more closely—or dig a little—and you’ll discover a rich world alive with ecological diversity and hidden beauty. The river has long served as a lifeline for both people and wildlife—central to culture, economy, recreation, and social connection. How do these many roles intersect? And how might we explore the river’s possibilities by better understanding its layered histories?
