A notice from the person who runs the ferry across the Kennebec was posted on Viewsfromthetop.com . I dont know where the poster got the information. But it looks like the Kennebec River Ferrying service is shut down indefinitely until the river level goes down. There really arent any good options to the ferry that dont involve a very long car shuttle. If its too tough for a canoe, fording sure isnt a good option.

There is a big "pulse" of NOBO throughhikers heading that way that were holed up in Gorham NH 9 days ago. Given that the AT in VT is still closed it looks as though Northern NE in generally is going to be a rough stretch for NOBO's this year. I expect some folks may have flipped up to Kathadin and went south after Irene and they may also be affected by this.
