Bowdoin College Steinwachs Boat House and Rowing Center

The Bowdoin Rowing boathouse, which is named Steinwachs Boathouse, sits on the New Meadows River, 4.5 miles down Bath Road from the Bowdoin College campus. The river is tidal, inhabited by lots of wildlife, and well protected for 1.5 miles downstream until it opens in stages to the North Atlantic starting at about 8 miles from the boathouse.

The new boathouse is located on the site of the former Smith Boathouse and fulfills a need that emerged with the growth of the rowing team over the past decade.

The facility was dedicated in the fall of 2025 - read more about it here!
