Barker Mill Trail, Auburn

QUICK TRAIL FACTS

  • Preserve Size: NA
  • Trail Mileage: 0.6 miles one way
  • Pets: yes
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Sights: Little Androscoggin River

This is a delightful trail that might run a bit scruffy. It’s a little more than half a mile along a section of the river between two dams. The Androscoggin Land Trust has set up bog bridges over some of the wetter areas but the trail, in 2024, could have used a little TLC.

Directions: (From the land trust): From downtown Auburn, follow Main Street to the intersection with Mill St and take a right onto Mill St. Drive past Barker Mill Arms apartment complex on the right. Just after this apartment complex there is an unmarked driveway on the right (that belongs to the dam operators). This entrance is to the parking lot of Upper Barker Mill Hydroelectric Dam. The trail begins here and you can park in this lot as long as you are not blocking the entrance gates to the dam.

Let me know if you have any trail updates or corrections!
