Androscoggin Wayside

Androscoggin Wayside Park is a small roadside recreation area located along the Androscoggin River in Errol, New Hampshire, situated within the scenic Thirteen Mile Woods corridor along Route 16. Part of the broader Mollidgewock State Park system, this free, year-round wayside park occupies a bluff overlooking a bend in the Androscoggin River, providing visitors with picturesque views of the river and surrounding wilderness. The park serves as a convenient rest stop and launch point for exploring the Thirteen Mile Woods, a celebrated stretch of heavily forested riverbank extending approximately thirteen miles along the Androscoggin. Activities include picnicking, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, with the river's mix of calm stretches and rapids attracting paddlers of varying skill levels. The Thirteen Mile Woods area is recognized as one of northern New Hampshire's premier wildlife viewing corridors, with moose sightings particularly common along the river's edge during dawn and dusk hours. The park's remote location in Coos County places it deep within New Hampshire's Great North Woods region.
