The Milbridge town wharf and float are on the east side of the river, about 0.2 mile east-southeast of the bridge. Depths of 8 to 10 feet are reported alongside the wharf, but less than a foot at the float. The wharf is used by fishermen to unload their catch for the cannery on Wallace Creek. Diesel fuel is available by truck; no other facilities are available at the wharf. A small-craft launching ramp is just west of the wharf.
A medical center is at Milbridge, and gasoline, diesel fuel, water, groceries, and limited marine supplies are available.

Narraguagus River empties into Narraguagus Bay from the northward. A dredged channel, marked by buoys, leads from the bay to the river, thence to an anchorage off Mitchell Point, thence to two anchorages in the river off Milbridge and thence to the Milbridge town wharf, on the east side of the river about 0.2 mile eastward of the bridge. A Federal project provides for a depth of 11 feet to about 20 feet seaward to the Jordan Pier, thence 9 feet to about Buoy 13, thence 6 feet to the town wharf. (See Notice to Mariners and latest editions of charts for controlling depths.) The channel is narrow and crooked and leads between flats that bare at low water. Strangers should navigate the river on a rising tide. Old fish weirs, only part of which show at low water, are on either side of the channel just above the fairway buoy off the entrance. Care should be taken in entering to have this buoy close aboard before heading up for the channel entrance, as the weirs are reported to be not visible at high water.
Care must also be taken in the river channel when passing the area between Buoys 13 and 15 to clear the ruins of several piers and a wreck, which are on the west side of the river and extend from the shore to the western edge of the channel.
