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.

👟 good for all levels 2 mentions

“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.

★★★★★ — Fred , Jul 2023

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..

★★★★☆ — Michael , May 2018

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.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“It definitely would be nice if people would stop coming to the parking lot to just use it for X Rated activities especially with minors around and able to see that would be nice.”
