Pleasant Point Park

Pleasant Point Park consists of approximately 47 acres located on Simpson Rd. One side of this beautiful park is on the Saco River. Visitors can enjoy a variety of recreational activities year round. Several spots along the river are great for swimming or fishing. Folks can use the river access for canoeing and kayaking. There are trails throughout the park for hiking and snow shoeing. Picnic tables and benches are available for those simply preferring to sit and enjoy the pristine views. The trail on the south side of park loops around an ancient burial ground for the Woodman family, early settlers. There you can sit on a bench and take in the magnificent view overlooking the Saco River. On the same trail is a foundation from the early days. This summer the trustees plan to improve the river access for canoes and kayaks. In addition the plan includes repairing the foot bridges throughout the park. Volunteers will be asked to participate in a clean-up day to clear brush. The date and time will be posted on the park kiosks as well as town website. Pleasant Point Park is open to all and their dogs daily between 7am and 8pm. Port-a-potties are available, including one handicapped accessible. No motorized vehicles beyond designated parking areas.
