About This Access Site
**Moran's Landing** is a public hand-carry access point to the Androscoggin River located off Route 2 in Hanover, Oxford County. This site provides convenient put-in and takeout for kayaks and canoes, with parking available nearby. The access area is situated on forested property with some adjacent wetland areas, making it a scenic launch point for paddlers exploring this section of the river.

The site accommodates a range of watercraft, including kayaks, canoes, drift boats, and small motorized vessels. While this is primarily a hand-carry access point, it offers improved accessibility features for people with disabilities. Paddlers should be prepared for hand-launching and carrying equipment, as this is not a full boat ramp facility. The Androscoggin River in this region offers moderate paddling opportunities, making it suitable for both recreational paddlers and those seeking multi-day canoe trips.

For trip planning, paddlers should check current water conditions and flow levels before visiting, as the Androscoggin's water level can vary seasonally. Nearby Canton also has a full boat launch facility if motorized launching is needed. Check locally for any current access restrictions or seasonal advisories.
