 The Cable Pool was one of the most popular fishing spots during the heyday of Atlantic Salmon fishing.  While restoration efforts are made to bring back this wonderful fish, the Cable Pool is now a park and a great place for a picnic.

 Beavers are the second largest rodent in North America and are famous for constructing lodges and dams.  Along the Narraguagus, the beavers build their lodges on the banks of deep pools and haven't seemed to attempt to dam the river.....yet.
