Okay, this isn’t really a proper walk, it’s more a very short and pretty stroll after you’ve had a beer or snack downtown. The city has built a little sidewalk/park, with a footbridge, around this small section of the river. To cross the footbridge, you have to climb some stairs. Just beyond the footbridge, on the Saco side of the walk, if you continue past the bridge, you’ll find some nice benches.
It appears the trail may have been expanded around Factory Island since my last visit. I will check it out as soon as I can!
Directions: I recommend parking behind Run of the Mill Public House, which is in one of those huge converted brick mills. If you drive toward the river, you’ll see the pedestrian sidewalk and footbridge, and you can park nearby.
