Saco River canoe trip draws crowd to preserve undeveloped landscapes
About 75 participants in 27 canoes and kayaks joined the second annual Saco River Corridor Commission outing. The voyage began near Skelton Dam, ended at Braley’s Homestead Campgrounds after a lunch with chowder, with a rope swing thrill along the way and a dramatic rescue as Al Delaney fell into the cold water. The commission, founded in 1973, protects land within 150 meters of the river and restricts development to keep the area naturally preserved.
