Presque Isle Stream
Presque Isle Stream, MAG 65 D1, offers a great easy 3 to 4 hour
round trip paddle up from the downtown area, 4 miles up to the
north Branch of the Presque Isle Stream. The easy free fl owing
waters meander through the life line to Presque Isle’s past and
future.
Undeveloped shoreline offers a wonderful experience to observe
numerous bird species along with wildlife. Once you reach the
north branch or the camp on the right side going up stream, turn
around and return to the boat landing area where you started. Be
careful to take out at the boat ramp area before the State Street
Bridge. The Presque Isle Stream Dam is just after the bridge,
considerable injury or death could occur if one attempts to go
over this unrunnable dam.
From north and south: Turn off Rt. 1, Main Street Presque Isle,
onto Chapman Street, near St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Drive .125
mile and go past the brick court house on the right, turn right at
the intersection onto Riverside Drive. Boat ramp is 200 yards on
the left. Parking is across the street near the Brick Court House.
