The Wassataquoik Ford is the designated crossing point for the IAT across Wassataquoik Stream. Look for the signs marked "FORD" on either side of the river for the crossing points. Proceed with caution. Wassataquoik Stream is prone to flash floods. Review information about stream crossing safety. Do not cross if water levels are high or if you do not feel comfortable with the conditions. 

Always be willing to turn back or wait for a more suitable time if a crossing appears too dangerous! Remember, no river crossing is worth your life.
