The Cathance River (a native American name meaning "Crooked River") originates in hilly terrain in Litchfield and meanders in a southern direction to Bradley Pond in Topsham before flowing east/northeast into Merrymeeting Bay.
Bordered by steep ledge in several areas, the river features a series of rapids that create a 100 foot elevation drop as the river passes through the Highland Green nature preserve. The river supports wide assortment of wildlife; including northern river otter, beaver, muskrat and red fox. Birds of prey including bald eagle and great blue heron benefit from the brown trout and Pumpkinseed sunfish, among others.
