The Souadabscook Stream (Abenaki: Sawadapskek) is a 20.9-mile (33.6 km)[citation needed] stream in the U.S. state of Maine. It is a tributary of the Penobscot River, with its headwaters are located at Etna Pond. The stream passes through the towns of Carmel, Hermon, and Hampden before joining the Penobscot. Souadabscook Stream was used as a route for canoe travel by the indigenous peoples of Maine to quickly switch between the Penobscot and Kennebec River drainages[1].

The town of Hampden was situated around the confluence of the Souadabscook and the Penobscot, with the town's first white settler Benjamin Wheeler constructing his house near this point. Wheeler
