Rotary Park

Rotary Park offers a public boat ramp providing access to the upper Saco River for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Located on Riverside Drive in Biddeford, this 72-acre municipal park is a popular launch point, particularly during warmer months when multiple boat trailers can be seen at the facility. The ramp accommodates larger craft that may not fit at the nearby Saco Yacht Club, making it a valuable resource for varied vessel types.

Beyond the boat launch, Rotary Park provides several amenities for a full day outing, including parking, picnic areas, walking trails, and a public beach for swimming. The park is handicapped accessible and features additional recreational facilities like athletic fields, dog parks, and disc golf. The location offers convenient access to explore the Saco River and its surrounding natural areas, including proximity to the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge.

For paddlers planning to use this ramp, arrive early during peak season weekends, as the popular launch point can experience busy conditions. The deeper water near the city ramp makes it suitable for different boat sizes and skill levels.
