Open all year; 9:00 a.m. to sunset daily unless otherwise signed at gate. No fee is currently charged at this park.
The park is gated and accessible only for foot traffic between the end of snowmobile season and May 15. Visitors enjoy the Androscoggin Riverlands year-round, with skiers and snowmobilers using the trails in winters and a mix of hiking, boating and ATVs in warmer seasons (ATV use is allowed only between May 15 and December 15, unless otherwise posted). Hunting is popular on these lands so be sure to wear highly visible clothing in the fall.
The Park
Lying near Maine's second largest urban area (Lewiston/Auburn), Androscoggin Riverlands State Park is a 2,675-acre expanse with 12 miles of river frontage. More than half of Maine's population lives within an hour drive of this park, which is the fifth largest in the State. An extensive trail network and undeveloped lands offer abundant recreational opportunities and habitat for wildlife. The park is part of the larger Androscoggin Greenway and the Androscoggin River Water Trail.
Turner Lands (2,345 acres): The larger of the park's two sections spans 6 river miles of gently rolling land along the Androscoggin's western shore in Turner. Visitors on foot, bicycle, ATV or horses can enjoy 12 miles of multi-use trails, and an additional 10 miles of foot trails (6.6 miles are shared with single-track biking) that offer great opportunities for spotting wildlife.
Leeds Lands (330 acres): The relatively flat and forested park lands along the east shore of the Androscoggin River is accessible by boat (primarily canoes and kayaks due to shallow water) and in winter by snowmobile.
