About This Access Site
The Aroostook River Boat Launch in Presque Isle offers convenient public access to the Aroostook River for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. Located just upstream of the Castle Hill Road bridge and easily identifiable after passing a railroad bridge, the launch features a dedicated parking area accessible via Parsons Street along the west side of the river. This location provides good access to a river known for scenic paddling opportunities and is situated in the Appalachian Mountains region of northern Maine.

The area is well-suited for various water activities, including paddling and fishing, with shoreline offering numerous recreational possibilities. Paddlers should note the presence of the railroad bridge nearby and plan accordingly for their trip. The Presque Isle location offers a solid starting point for exploring this section of the Aroostook River, with additional public access points available at other nearby locations including Riverside Pavilion Park if you're looking for alternative launch or take-out spots in the region.
