River Watch Bed & Breakfast is conveniently located just off East Main Street in Madawaska Maine. We are within walking distance of many of the fine historic sites, and just minutes from Fraser Paper, The Acadian Village, The Canadian Border to Edmonston and much more.

Visit the historic site, along the breathtaking St. John River, where our ancestors first stepped foot in northern Maine. The spot is marked with a huge cross, erected at the location where Acadians landed after fleeing from their Nova Scotia homeland in, to avoid being deported by the British. Experience the history and proud heritage of the people immortalized in the famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem "Evangeline,' when you tour the Tante Blanche Museum or attend any of the numerous cultural events, including the spectacular Acadian Festival in late June. The central area of the St. John Valley is home to many other culturally and historically significant sites, all of which tell the story of the French Acadian settlers. (see things to do list)
