The Fish River is a 69.9-mile-long (112.5 km)[1] river in northern Maine in the United States. It is a tributary of the Saint John River, which flows to the Bay of Fundy (an arm of the Atlantic Ocean) in New Brunswick, Canada.
From its start at the confluence of Fox Brook and Carr Pond Stream (46°46′37″N 68°46′52″W / 46.7769°N 68.7811°W), in Maine Township 13, Range 8, WELS, the river runs north to Fish River Lake, then east to Portage Lake. It then runs northwards through St. Froid Lake and Eagle Lake to the Saint John River at Fort Kent. The latter section is roughly parallel to Maine State Route 11.
