Maine Railroad Trestle

1 ReviewAdd Review

Boat-in access only makes this free dispersed site on the Connecticut River a self-selecting destination. Registration through the CT River Paddler's Trail website is requested, not required, to help manage crowding. The site has two distinct camping areas: one elevated with a picnic table and fire ring, one flat and lower-suited for tents. The rocky beach works well for loading and unloading. Tick pressure is high in the adjacent cornfield, though the campsite itself is less affected. ATV intrusion has been reported at night. Anglers and paddlers exploring camping near Groveton may find this a useful overnight stop between river segments.

Nice site along the CT River Paddlers Trail

While reservations are not required, there is a registration page on the CT River Paddler's Trail Website that they ask folx to complete just so spots don't get overcrowded. 

There are several sites available here and a really nice rocky beach with easy access fo loading and unloading. It's also a nice spot to fish from. There is a site perched high on the hill where there is a picnic table and fire ring. There is also a spot lower down that is nice and flat and probably better spots for tents. We did have an ATV almost run over us at 1:00 a.m. that scared the dickens out of us. They were clearly unaware and intoxicated, it was a scary moment. But aside from that, it's a wonderful site. If you walk through the campsite, there is a massive cornfield, just beware that the ticks in the field are insane! They weren't bad in the campsite but in the grass, they were epic. There's nice shade available as well.
