Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay. How you conduct yourself on Maine’s waters will go a long way in de- termining whether new access points can be obtained since only a fraction of our waters have dedicated public access.

His understanding of ecological processes was unrivaled, and his contributions to this document were tremendous. Since his passing preceded the publication of this Status Review, he was not able to see the completion of this project. We would also like to acknowledge Jerry Marancik’s early contributions to this project. He was a BRT member until he retired in the spring of 2004. At that time, Scott Craig assumed Jerry Marancik’s role on the BRT. We would also like to acknowledge the many people who contributed to the completion of this document. Primarily, the work of previous Atlantic Salmon BRTs helped form the basis of this document. Previous BRT members include M. Colligan, J. Kocik, D. Kimball, J. Marancik, J. McKeon, P.

TRIP C-4 THE SEBOOMOOK LAKE AREA BECAME ICE FREE; BUT HOW ? Thomas V. Lowell Department of Geological Sciences State University of New York at Buffalo Buffalo, NY 14226 and Kristine J. Crossen * Institute for Quaternary Studies University of Maine at Orono Orono, ME 04469 INTRODUCTION During the summer of 1983 we conducted surficial mapping and investigations in the Seboomook Lake area and along the West Branch of the Penobscot River. Reconnaissance checks and examination of prior work (Brewer and Caldwell, 1975) led us to hypothesize the existence of very large post- or proglacial lakes that spread from Moosehead Lake to Chesuncook Lake (Fig. 1). Low drainage divides now connect the two basins. The area is also interesting because at least 3 major river basins drain from it; the St. John River to the north, the West Branch of the Penobscot to the east and the Kennebec to the south.

The first of these has not been formally named or described and will be referred to informally as the Allagash Lake Forma­ tion . This formation is of Late Silurian (Pridoli) and Lower Devonian (Gedinnian) age. The second formation is the Seboomook Formation of Lower Devonian (Siegenian) age. The sedimentary rocks of these two formations are distinctively different in terms of lithologies, sedimentary structures, and interpreted depositional environments.
