TheSasanoa River is an 8.6-mile-long (13.8 km)[1] tidal channel in the Midcoast region ofMaine, connecting theKennebec River with theSheepscot River.
The Sasanoa River has two distinct sections. The western section begins at the Kennebec River opposite the city ofBath and runs east, forming the boundary between the towns ofArrowsic andWoolwich, and passing through its narrowest channel at Upper Hell Gate. The western section ends at Hockomock Bay, a water body also crossed by theBack River and containing numerous tidal inlets. The eastern section of the Sasanoa River begins 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of the river's western section and flows southeast through Lower Hell Gate and Goose Rock Passage to the Sheepscot River. This section of the river forms the boundary betweenLincoln andSagadahoc counties, as well as between the towns ofWestport andGeorgetown.
