Description

This 6-foot wide paved scenic path runs alongside both the Auburn and Lewiston sides of the Androscoggin River, connecting them via the Jenkins Memorial Footbridge. Both running slopes and cross slopes are low throughout the trail. Benches are frequent along the Auburn side but more clustered in Lewiston.

The Riverwalk Trail crosses underneath Court Street in Auburn and continues behind Festival Plaza (look for the huge colorful canopies during the summer and fall months). 

From a T intersection in Bonney Park one can follow a paved path into Moulton Park or cross the railroad trestle into Lewiston’s Railroad Park, the site of numerous festivals, events, gardens and places to sit and enjoy the calm.

What a wonderful way to spend the Vernal Equinox! The trail was clear of ice and 100% walkable even in the cooler weather. Even though it was “busy” it was not crowded. Friendly folks and signs of hope and spring were abundant. Parking was easy and adjacent. Highly recommended.

Nice walk up and down along the river. Was a great spot for a first date in these socially-distant coronavirus pandemic days! Most of it is paved so good for roller skates, scooters or skateboards too, as well as people who need mobility assistance devices. The falls were mostly dry, but I'll bet they are quite impressive with the spring snowmelt.
These awesome businesses support our goal of connecting people to outdoor adventures in Maine!
