Lisbon Trail System
The Lisbon Trail System consists of the Ricker Farm Trail, the Paper Mill Trail (1.5 mi.) and the new Androscoggin
River Trail (1.8 mi.) for a total of four miles of bicycle and pedestrian trails. These trails can be accessed at either
end or in the middle via Lisbon Community School or Miller Park.
The paved trails will take you by farm land, the Sabattus River, and the
Androscoggin River. The northern segment travels along open
terrain, edging fields before heading into a densely-wooded segment
along the Sabattus River. Miller Park, located at the middle of the
trail, offers a boat launch, picnic facilities and a portable toilet. The
southern portion is lightly-wooded and borders the Androscoggin
River which offers scenic views and bird watching. Benches and dog
waste stations are available along the trail. For more information about the trails, contact the Parks and Recreation office.
