The Androscoggin River boat ramp in Auburn provides convenient access to this major Maine waterway via a wooden ramp and stairs leading down to the river. The 8-acre access site is largely forested with a quarter-mile of shoreline overlooking Stevens Island. Parking is available at the east end of the property, with portable toilets generally on-site.
**Launch & Take-out Tips:** This ramp works well for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The take-out can be challenging due to the nearby Pejepscot Dam—paddlers should stay to the right side of the river as they approach the dam and look for a slot in the barrier on the far right to safely exit. You can then haul boats up over the rocks and grass near the access point.
The site offers a good entry point for exploring the Androscoggin River, a popular paddling destination in southern Maine. Hand-carry access is also available at nearby Freeman's Landing if you prefer a smaller, more intimate launch option.
