Oosoola Park

Oosoola is a fabulous little park with a fabulous name. I couldn’t find out what oosoola refers to*, but I like to think it might have something to do with where the park is situated, at a graceful bend in Kennebec River, close to where Mill Stream flows into it.

The park has a dock, a playground, a gazebo and a short trail down a little spit between Mill Stream and Kennebec River that offers lovely views of the bridge, river and opposite bank. The short trail is sandy and flat.

Directions: The park is located off Route 2, just outside of the little downtown center. It’s roughly 650 feet from the intersection of Routes 2 and 139, where Route 2 makes a sharp bend west and turns into Main Street.
