You'll know you're here when you see the 170-foot steel-framed Nansen Ski Jump. Visitors are banned from using the ski jump, but it makes a great backdrop for a photo. You can launch your boat into the nearby Androscoggin River. The 6-acre park is a great place to picnic and fish. The evergreen trees and the sounds of the river make this roadside stop a gem. It's open all year, but it's not cleared of snow in winter so you'll need a snowmobile to get around!Activities: Fishing, picnickingAmenities: Picnic tables, boat launch, pit toiletsFee: NoneOperation Schedule: Year-roundAcreage: 14 acresWaterfront: Androscoggin RiverNumber of Campsites: None
