Androscoggin Woods

Androscoggin Woods Info

Androscoggin Woods in Topsham is owned by the Land Trust and protects 53-acres of riverside forest, wetlands, and nearly two miles of shoreline along the Androscoggin River.  This scenic property is home to diverse wildlife, including freshwater mussels and clams that help keep the river healthy. Visitors can enjoy fishing, swimming, paddling from a nearby boat launch, or exploring the one-mile trail system that winds through the forest with beautiful river views. Protecting vital habitat and water quality, Androscoggin Woods is both a natural treasure and a peaceful place to connect with the outdoors.
