The Auburn Riverwalk has a lot of potential--it offers beautiful views of the Androscoggin River,…read morescenic spots to relax, and a path that connects Auburn and Lewiston with access to Bonney Park and Railroad Park. I really appreciate the city's effort to create a space that educates and encourages walking or running. That said, the maintenance could use some serious attention, and it's not a place I'd recommend visiting after dark. Unfortunately, the presence of sketchy activity at night makes it feel unsafe, which takes away from the overall experience. Great concept, but it needs more upkeep and security to really shine.

Having been born and raised in Lewiston, I feel I have the right to criticize this city and this…read morepark. I know they are trying to make the area better, but I didn't feel comfortable along my run. A lot of the people I saw were getting into trouble which is not the purpose of a nature park. It doesn't help that a lot of the trail runs next to old, dilapidated buildings. It's a shame because a trail like this along the Androscoggin River and Great Falls is a great idea. The view of the bridges, crossing the train Trussell and meeting up with other parks is fantastic. It just falls short for me. I'd rather drive a bit to find a better park.

Sunnyside Park may be small, but it's a nice spot for kids to play and burn off some energy. The…read moreplayground has had some upgrades over the years, and while it's in decent shape, it's nowhere near what it looked like when I was a child. There's a bit of nostalgia lost, but at least it's still a good place for families. It's not a destination park by any means, but if you're in the area and need a place for the kids to run around, it does the job. It's clean, relatively safe, and usually not too crowded. Just wish it still had the charm I remember from years ago!

This place is so cute. I can't wait to bring my niece and nephew here. Also my fur baby. A nice…read morelittle hide away. I've lived here my entire life and never knew about this park!!!

This lovely park and swim area is just outside the city.

There are gazebos and tables for picnics and shelter from the sun. The swim area is not the sandy beach type but rather a grassy knoll that leads to a refreshing pond. The bottom is murky only when you get deep. Perfect spot to cool off and enjoy the fresh air. There is a boat launch across the street as well.

This beach is along Rt 302 in Raymond on Sebago Lake. The beach is right next to the road, which…read moreis busy, so it can be noisy. The sandy part is only a couple of feet so it is mostly sand/grass. Facing the water, the left side has a lot of duck weed. To the right is the public boat launch and on a nice weekend 200 or more boats can come and go. There is a courtesy inspector on site. The parking area is small, however, the area along the road gets parked up regardless of the no parking signs. From what people say... You take your chances on whether you get a ticket or not. Since this is a free public beach and even the roped off water area is quite shallow, you can expect families to be most of the folks here. Bathrooms are port-a-potties. This beach is tested on a regular basis and from time to time will be closed due to E. coli levels. So there's that... We like to launch our canoe from here and paddle around but if you are in a canoe or kayak, expect the pontoon, speed boats, jet skis and the like to be coming and going as well.

It's priced at a premium over other Maine state parks, $10 more per night, but worth every penny.

And mists now arose on all sides of the water, arrayed like ambassadors of dawns first break - like a guard of honor. At this point, the mists in the west, well they grew lighter and we're clad in a sort of silver sheen - like daybreak's welcoming water guards. But just then, the mists swayed wildly and the silver water guards bent low and from behind them, the sun rose quickly and settled upon the tree lined hills across the way of the now rougher water and it then quite rapidly beamed back upon the calm waters, flooding it with a dazzling brilliance.
