Overview

Description: Pejepscot Dam Recreation Area is a park located on the Androscoggin River providing river access for hand carry only watercraft. [Note: On adjacent property owned by Pejepscot Dam operators, a steel canoe portage stairway with padded canoe slide is in place to permit canoes or kayaks to be slid down to the river for launching.]  There are also hiking trails along the river at this park.
