The Aroostook River boat ramp in Masardis provides convenient access to this popular paddling and fishing destination in northern Maine. Located just upstream of the Aroostook River Bridge on the right bank, the launch is positioned between a railroad bridge and Castle Hill Road bridge. Follow Parsons Street along the west side of the river for about 9.3 miles, then turn onto the driveway to reach the parking area and ramp.
This access point serves as an excellent put-in for canoeists and kayakers exploring the Aroostook River, which offers opportunities for fishing (particularly for trout) and scenic paddling through the Appalachian Mountains region. The river in this area features good shoreline opportunities and relatively stable water conditions. Boaters should note the nearby railroad bridge, which appears suddenly after a bend—stay alert when navigating this section. Additional access points are available upstream at Riverside Pavilion Park and on Grimes Mill Road for those looking to explore different sections of the river.
