About This Access Site
The Orange River boat ramp, located at the end of Pidgeon Point Road in Whiting, is a public access point maintained by the Town of Whiting. This hand-launch facility provides waterfront access to the Orange River Wildlife Management Area and is open seasonally (July and August only). The site includes a picnic pavilion, making it suitable for day trips and family outings.
This access point is well-positioned for exploring the Orange River Wildlife Management Area, with nearby Reynolds Marsh Overlook offering an alternative launch location for one-way or round-trip paddling routes. The area is ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking a scenic paddle through Maine's coastal wildlife habitat. Nearby attractions include Roosevelt Campobello International Park and Cross Island National Wildlife Refuge, which enhance the recreational value of the region. Plan your visit during the summer season when the hand launch is operational, and bring your own boat-launching equipment appropriate for hand-launch access.
