“A two-lane bridge on Route 26, at the only crossing for thirty miles. Below it the Androscoggin runs broad and dark out of Umbagog, then breaks white through the Errol Rapids a quarter mile downstream. Paddlers put in at the dam, log trucks pass overhead, the village holds one diner and one outfitter. North of here the road climbs to Dixville and the Canadian line. from the studio

— about Errol bridge over the Androscoggin

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Errol sits in Coos County in New Hampshire's far North Country, where New Hampshire Route 26 crosses the Androscoggin River about thirteen miles south of the Canadian border. The town held 291 residents at the 2020 census and covers roughly thirty-six square miles. The Androscoggin leaves Lake Umbagog at the Errol Dam, runs under the highway bridge, and breaks into the Errol Rapids a short distance downstream. The crossing is the only road bridge over the river for many miles in either direction.

— the water

The Androscoggin runs about 178 miles from Lake Umbagog through New Hampshire and Maine to tidewater at Merrymeeting Bay. The Errol Dam, raised in 1905, regulates the river's headwater pool. Just below the dam, the Errol Rapids hold a steady Class II-III run that draws kayakers and open-canoe paddlers all summer. The river is also a leg of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a 740-mile water route from Old Forge, New York, to Fort Kent, Maine. Brook trout and landlocked salmon hold in the cold water.

— the silence

Errol is one of the least populated towns on a state highway in New Hampshire, with fewer than three hundred year-round residents on roughly thirty-six square miles. The village holds a single general store, one outfitter, and a diner near the bridge. Logging trucks still work the road north toward the Magalloway and the Connecticut Lakes. Cell coverage drops near the crossing. The Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge lies a few miles east, holding the largest concentration of nesting loons and bald eagles in the state.

— about the place

On New Hampshire Route 26 in the village of Errol, Coos County, where the highway crosses the Androscoggin River about thirteen miles south of the Canadian border in the state's far North Country.

The Androscoggin, which leaves Lake Umbagog at the Errol Dam and runs roughly 178 miles to tidewater at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine. The bridge sits a short walk upstream of the Errol Rapids.

The Errol Rapids just below the dam hold a steady Class II-III run, and the river forms part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a 740-mile route from Old Forge, New York, to Fort Kent, Maine.

Errol had 291 residents at the 2020 census and covers about thirty-six square miles. It is one of the least populated state-highway towns in New Hampshire.

A small regulating dam raised in 1905 at the outlet of Lake Umbagog. It holds the headwater pool of the Androscoggin and creates the put-in for paddlers running the rapids below.

The Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge sits a few miles east and holds the state's largest concentration of nesting common loons and bald eagles. Moose are common along Route 26 at dusk.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. The Errol bridge is the gateway to the Connecticut Lakes country and the Magalloway. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio reads well for anyone who has paddled, fished, or hunted that corner of the state.

The river palette and dark spruce edge settle into camp-cabin, mountain-modern, and lodge interiors. It also holds its own in a quieter Scandinavian or coastal-modern room as the room's grounding piece.

Yes. The piece reads alongside the current revival of working-camp aesthetics, where wool, pine, and oiled steel are lead materials. A Medium or Large suits a mantel or a hallway above a bench.

Above a console table, a single Large reads well. Above a standard sofa, a four-tile Mural or a nine-tile Mural carries the wall. The Medium is the gallery-wall workhorse.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and stand up to steam and splash on a backsplash or shower wall. The Glossy finish is for dry walls and framed pieces.

A microfibre cloth and water. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so it cannot wipe off. Skip abrasives and ammonia-heavy cleaners.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is painted by the studio and produced in-house in Knoxville, Tennessee. No licensing, no third-party prints, one eye behind the catalogue.
