Confirmed from Androscoggin Riverlands State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxed state park featuring marked trails for hiking and ATVs, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Androscoggin Riverlands State Park
“We we drove minutes away to a boat slip where there were beautiful views.”
“Once you are actually on the trails though they are very well marked an easy to get around on for the most part.”
“The Deer Path trail and Ridge trail where very quiet though.”
“Great place to bike, hike, run for all ages.”
Lots and lots of walking trails here . Plus the ATV trails ! There is a north parking lot that has plenty of space and a smaller parking lot in the southern area. Conditions were a little muddy since it had been raining so much recently, but I didn’t have any issues getting through the trails I walked.
Very nice park. Parking at 1005 Center Bridge Rd. Didn't visit the small walking trails but did walk along the main trail. Didn't get very far as it started to rain. Will definitely be back to try out all of their trails. If I lived nearby, would be a good running trail. Dirt Parking lot is a bit bumpy..
Nice trails.. but could not find my way to the river!! I could SEE it but couldn't reach it!! Lol P.s. found a set of keys, one Hyundai & 2 keys with yellow rubber.
Great trails! Even with fresh snow you know where you are going! Great views!
