This trail begins at the steps to the boat launch/canoe slide, and continues into the woods along the peaceful Presumpscot River.
Many folks use this point for river access. The River Trail itself is mostly narrow dirt track with several wooden bridges and some steep sections. Be sure to look out for the beautiful aluminum bridge in the woods, a great feature of this secluded spot.
