About
The Josias & Ogunquit Rivers
The
Josias River
The Josias River is located in the towns of York and Ogunquit.
Clay Hill Road follows the Josias River and crosses many of its
tributaries before the river passes under I-95. The river flows
into Perkins Cove in the town of Ogunquit before emptying into the
Gulf of Maine. For more information on the Cape Neddick River watershed
please visit the WNERR
SWIM website.

New
Culverts In Place On Josias River
The culverts pictured here were replaced after the Mother's
Day Storm of 2006 washed these two crossings out (see articles below).
The State Planning Office encouraged York to replace the washed-out
steel pipe culverts with larger passageways made of concrete and
with a natural stone or gravel bottom. Along with less likelihood
of being washed out so easily, unlike standard steel culverts, these
new culverts will not block fish, as well as amphibians and mammals,
from moving up and down streams.
