There are many opportunities to enjoy the the river on the southern portion of the current trail or the rolling fields of the northern section.

The kiosk at the Sebattus River boat launch and another historical sign along the trail provide the historical background of the area, the more recent history of the trail, and information about other outdoor opportunities in Lisbon.

Other Information

Future plans for the trail include extending a section further south to follow the Androscoggin River towards Lisbon Falls.

My family and I enjoyed this trail. From the boat landing parking lot, there are actually 2 trails -- we biked both, and each had a few pedestrians & dogs. Here's a video of the trail along the water (our favorite of the two)... https://youtu.be/zADHwphX6_Q
