Access point to Beaver Pond
Beaver Pond is a 4-acre water body located in the heart of Westbrook (see the “Westbrook” map in The Maine Atlas and Gazetteer map 74 C1). The public access to this pond is located at the end of Church Street. Beware that it is weedy and unimproved. Only hand-carried craft, such as canoes or kayaks, can be launched from this point. Parking is on the street.

View of the falls on the Presumpscot River from Bridge Street in downtown Westbrook
The Presumpscot River is the outlet of Sebago Lake. It flows for about 25 winding miles through the towns of Standish, Windham, Gorham, Westbrook, Falmouth, and Portland before emptying out in Casco Bay. The river drops an impressive 270 feet between Sebago Lake and the ocean through a series of falls. Many of these falls lay submerged behind the dams that dot the river. However, one of those falls, located in Westbrook, is easily accessible and makes for a great fishing site. That’s where I’m heading this morning with my 10-year old nephew Christian, who has developed into an eager fisherman this year. The Saccarappa Falls are located just upstream of Bridge Street, off Maine Street in downtown Westbrook. Ample parking is available across from a small municipal park. We walk towards the river, squeeze through a railing, and scamper down the rocks towards the water.
