A Place to Live, Work and Play

The Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls Chamber of

Commerce welcomes you to explore and enjoy

the heart of the Androscoggin River Valley.

The JLLF area is located at the center point of four

counties. Within 10 minutes in any direction, you

can be in Androscoggin, Franklin, Kennebec or Oxford

Counties. This means if your travels take you to

many of the larger communities in our area, such as

Augusta, Lewiston/Auburn and Farmington, you’re

less than an hour away. We are also approximately

an hour away from Maine’s magnificent coastline

and the best skiing on the Eastern seaboard of the

United States. Not to mention, we have many lakes,

rivers, streams and many smaller

mountains and nature trails right

in our backyard.

Jay, Livermore and Livermore

Falls are nestled in

the Androscoggin River Valley

and are the gateway to the

Western Lakes and Mountains

region. Each town embodies

the close-knit communities

synonymous with the enduring

qualities of many Maine

towns. The people who call this place home treasure

the good old fashioned values that are often

lost in other areas of the globe. Their work ethic is

second to none. Collectively, they are always willing

to pull together to get the job done—helping

a neighbor or a stranger off the street. We are the

home of Maine’s finest paper mill and are surrounded

by many smaller businesses where the

owner is still in the shop.

A Place Rich with

History and Opportunity

JAY

The Town of Jay, incorporated on February 26,

1795, is in southern Franklin County, situated on the

Androscoggin River. The area became a hotbed of

industry during the Industrial Revolution, with the

river providing power for a multitude of mills and

factories. While industry and conservation remain

a strong part of the Jay area, the town retains a rural

feel, with a population of approximately 5,000

across 48 square miles. Jay is home to Verso Paper

Corp.’s Androscoggin Mill, which is the second largest

producer of coated paper in the country.

Located at the gateway to major ski areas, Jay has

access to abundant recreational activities. French

Falls is a ball field in the summer. Jay is the home of

Spruce Mountain (sprucemountain.org), a small ski

area owned by the three towns. The slope

has eleven trails maintained by volunteers

and is reasonably priced for families. Jay

offers public tennis courts, and a 14-mile

Rail Trail from Jay to Farmington that supports

snowmobiles, ATVs, horseback riding,

biking, and hiking. The Androscoggin River

provides opportunities for excellent fishing

and wildlife viewing, and is a venue for

many tournaments. Canoes and kayaks are

now a common sight, as residents and visitors

are using the river as never before.

North Jay is known historically for its

white granite quarries that led to the development

of one of the first industries in Jay. For decades, the

North Jay White Granite Quarry provided the granite—highly

prized for its fine grain, white color and

strength—for numerous public buildings across

the country, including Grant’s Tomb and City Hall in

Portland. Today, you can visit North Jay’s White Granite

Quarry Park and hike scenic trails meandering

through one of our many area orchards.

LIVERMORE

The area was settled in the 1770s as Port Royal and

was incorporated in 1795. It later derived its name

from Deacon Elijah Livermore, one of its first settlers.

Livermore was also home to the Washburns, one

of the prominent families of the 19th century. This

remarkable family produced senators, congressmen,

governors, entrepreneurs and naval leaders. Now

their ancestral home is the Washburn Norlands Living

History Center, a national historic treasure. Visitors

learn about the family through the mid-1800s, and

experience life in rural Maine in the 1900s, through

watching reenactments, or participating in daily

chores on the farm and in the mansion, and learning

the ways of the one-room school house. The Museum

is located at 290 Norlands Road. For more information,

go to www.norlands.org or call (207) 897-4366.

Situated on one of the heaviest traveled secondary

highways in the state, Livermore offers tremendous

exposure for anyone looking to attract business from

those traveling to tourist destinations, or commuting

to and from work. The people living in Livermore are

proud of its rich and diverse history of agriculture

and forestry, and its small business enterprises. Small

stores and a close community lend to the serenity of

the rolling mountains surrounding it. The town has

three boat launches that allow access to three different

lakes and some of the best “hidden” fishing in

Western Maine.

LIVERMORE FALLS

Originally, Livermore Falls was part of Port Royal,

which was settled in the 1770s. It was incorporated

as part of Livermore in 1795. At this time, Livermore

had a county line running through the middle, divided

by the Androscoggin River. West of the river was

part of Oxford County and east of the river was part

of Kennebec County. East Livermore, formed and

incorporated in 1845, was set off from Kennebec

County on March 31, 1854 to create Androscoggin

County. East Livermore is now known as Livermore

Falls

Early in the 19th century, the area was still mostly

farmland, with orchards and dairies supplying the

markets of Portland and Boston. As the century

progressed, logging and papermaking came to the

forefront as the Industrial Revolution peaked. In the

late 1800s, Livermore Falls was a bustle of various

mills, large and small, and could be called the epicenter

of the Industrial Revolution here in western

Maine. Multiple mills were built in the latter part of

the 19th century, taking advantage of the Androscoggin’s

tremendous waterpower. Hugh Chisholm,

lifelong friend and collaborator of Thomas Alva Edison,

purchased his first paper mill in Livermore Falls,

then built or purchased a number of other mills that

eventually became the multi-national paper maker

of today, International Paper Company. Most of the

mills - from paper to grist - are gone from the area,

but the population that was drawn here by the need

for workers for the various mills and railroads has

remained. Generations of these multi-ethnic families

are still residents of the area and have a strong

pride in their historic role developing industries at

the heart of the Androscoggin River area. Maine’s

Paper and Heritage Museum (www.papermuseumofmaine.org)

is located at 32 Church Street in

Livermore Falls and commemorates the history of

Maine’s Paper Industry. The lore of railroads, logging,

lumbering and papermaking can be researched at

the Paper Museum. Livermore Falls is now a quiet

village with an historic downtown. It has the convenience

of in town living, while retaining the tranquility

of past rural life.

Today, there are approximately 3,200 people living

in the 20 square miles that make up Livermore

Falls.

www.lfme.org or call the Livermore Falls Town Office at

A Place Rich with

Natural Resources

and Recreation

Residents and visitors develop an appreciation

for the area’s great natural beauty, with our

all-season trails, scenic vistas and wide array of

recreational activities. The Central Androscoggin

River Valley offers ample hunting, fishing, boating,

bicycling and snowmobiling opportunities. It’s

a great area for skiing, snowshoeing and hiking,

as well as fun seasonal activities like blueberry,

strawberry, raspberry and apple picking.

Our area is rich with the four seasons. We can

boast some of the most beautiful summers with

the warm weather often starting in April and going

through October. Of course the snow could hit the

ground any time from October-April, which makes

our area ideal for winter enthusiasts as well. When

the days become warm and sunny, but nights still

hold the shards of winter, we have the short season

of making maple syrup, made all the sweeter by the

promise of spring. The crisp fall air brings the peak

of fall foliage color, usually during the beginning of

October and lasts about three weeks. Our valley

is lined with quiet country roads, orchard-dotted

hills, low, spruce-fir clad mountains, glacial ponds

and countless cool brooks.

Home to the Androscoggin River, we have an

amazing resource right out our front doors. The

swift flowing, large-volume river not only provides

an excellent source of power, but also recreation.

During the Industrial Revolution the area

became a hotbed of industry, due in large part to

this wonderful resource. Like many other communities

in America, industry has waned, and though

that has created stress to local economies, it has

opened up many recreational possibilities. Once

named one of the ten most polluted rivers in the

country, the Androscoggin River has made an incredible

comeback and is now so beautiful, clean

and serene- you’d swear you were miles away

from civilization when you are on it.

Today, the river has countless boat put-ins

along its entire length. Once on the endangered

species list, bald eagles are now a very common

sight in the area. A canoe or kayak ride on most

any stretch of the river reveals a world of beauty

and tranquility. You may see an eagle harassing

an osprey for its catch, or a kingfisher, fishing for

its brood, sitting on an exposed branch and later,

skimming along the water in flight, firing off

its “rat-tat-tat” call. You might see a green heron

under an overhanging bank, crouched motionless

on a branch, watching warily as you float by.

On pond-like stretches, great blue herons sit statue-still,

stalking fish fry in the shallows.

But there is plenty of fish to go around! The Androscoggin

boasts some of the best bass fishing

in the northeast! For the fly fisherman who wants

a real challenge, wily brown trout lurk in the riffles.

You may see a group of children fishing with

worms below Riley Dam, and on the other end

of the spectrum you might see a fly-fishing class

being conducted by LL Bean near Pine Island.

Our Chamber of Commerce has partnered

with the Androscoggin Land Trust and local businesses

to develop maps of our region that highlight

trails, open space, and access points to the

Androscoggin River and our numerous ponds. See

page 22 for some of the area’s recreation locations.

For more information or to acquire a map on

where to find recreation areas along the Androscoggin

River, call the Androscoggin Land Trust

at (207)782-2302 or visit www.androscogginlandtrust.org.

The natural wonder that is the Androscoggin

River is an untapped treasure waiting to be discovered.

A Place Rich with

Agriculture and Artisans

For generations, this valley was known as apple

and dairy country and there is still ample evidence

of the area’s agricultural roots. As you explore the

valley, you will pass pastures with livestock, hay and

corn fields, orchards, and farms specializing in crops

such as potatoes, pumpkins, apples and strawberries.

During the spring, you can see many maple trees

tapped for the season, with buckets ready to capture

the sweetness that becomes Maine maple syrup.

Roadside stands offer fresh produce, eggs, dairy

products, honey, maple syrup, flowers, herbs, craft

items and much more.

Check out the list of businesses that offer

locally grown and pick-your-own berries, fruits

and other Maine- made products on page 31.

Check out our calendar of events on page 7 as

well to see what specific opportunities may be

available for you to experience with our locally

grown and crafted goods.

While we have all that we need right here in

our communities, if you desire larger big box style

stores or outlet malls, they are only a short drive

away: Farmington to the north, Augusta to the

east, and Lewiston-Auburn, Freeport and Portland

to the south. Major cultural and sporting events

are also within easy reach from our area.

Recreation

THE

ANDROSCOGGIN

RIVER

The Androscoggin River flows 177 miles from

Umbagog Lake at the Maine-New Hampshire border

to Merrymeeting Bay where it joins the Kennebec

River. Dropping over 1,200 feet in elevation

from its headwaters, the Androscoggin has an average

descent of eight feet per mile.

For thousands of years, Native Americans made

a sustainable existence along the Androscoggin

and its watershed. The Anasagunticooks would

migrate from the headwaters to the

sea, raising crops and catching the abundant fish

that populated the river, and developing village

areas as key points. In fact, the Canton Point was

once the largest Native American village in New

England.

Starting in the 19th century, the Androscoggin

provided power for a multitude of mills and factories

that were located on its banks. Consequently,

the river also bore the brunt of industrialization.

By the middle of the 20th century, the Androscoggin

was named one of the ten most polluted rivers

in the United States.

With the leadership of Androscoggin River native

Senator Edmund Muskie, and his authoring of

the Clean Water Act, the Androscoggin has made

an incredible comeback. Public and private efforts

have improved the water quality of the river

and have led to countless boating access

points along its length. Recreational opportunities

feature wildlife watching and

some of the best bass fishing in the northeast.

A paddle along almost any stretch of

the river reveals a world of beauty, wildlife

and tranquility dotted with historic villages.

(Section descriptions are provided by

the Androscoggin Watershed Council,

Androscoggin Land Trust, and Chisholm

Trails.)

our natural river areas at androscogginlandtrust.org

Recreation Spots

Paddling the Androscoggin River

There are multiple access points for boaters on

the river, including both trailer boat launches and

hand-carry put-ins for canoeists and kayakers.

Those traveling downstream through the region

shown on this map must portage or transport

their boats around four dams. The only rapids

(Class 2+) are found in the lowermost stretch of

the river midway between the Foundry Road access

and the take out at Twin Bridges (Route 219),

although there is some quick water in the stretch

between Pine Island and the Otis Mill take-out.

Dixfield River Access (Dixfield)

This hand-carry site in Dixfield allows paddlers to

experience the full stretch of river in Canton and

makes an ideal starting point for a day trip downstream

to Riley Dam. If you choose you can portage

around the dam. The put-in can be accessed

from Canton Point Road roughly 2 miles west of

the Canton–Dixfield town line. The total paddle

distance from Dixfield to Riley is about 12 miles.

This is a little-paddled section of the river, moving

through corn and potato fields, hardwood-lined

banks and back.

State of Maine—Trailered Access (Canton)

This is the only boat launch in the region that provides

access for boat trailers to the river. Follow

Route 140 approximately 3.5 miles from Canton

Village and turn right onto Dorey Road to reach

the boat launch and parking area.

Recreation

Riley Dam Access (Canton/Jay)

Short portage trails on the river’s left bank provide

access upstream and downstream from Riley Dam.

A parking area at the end of a gravel drive is located

on the south side of School Street (Route 140)

just over three miles from the junction of Routes

140 and 4/17 in Jay. The total paddle distance from

Riley to Otis Mill is a little over 5 miles.

Pine Island/Verso Paper Corp. Access (Jay)

Pine Island provides upstream and downstream

hand-carry access with portage trails around Jay

Dam. From Route 4/17 in Jay, follow signs for the

Verso Paper Corp. Mill, cross the Androscoggin on

POW Remembrance Bridge (Riley Road), and take

the first right down a short gravel access road. After

the Pine Island River access, there is no public

access to the river upstream of the Livermore Falls

Dam. Paddlers wishing to continue downstream

must transport their boats downstream of the Livermore

Falls Dam.

Otis Mill Access (Jay)

Informal access on the river’s left bank at the historic

Otis Mill provides a take-out point for downstream

paddlers needing to portage around Otis

Dam. Located off of Mill Street in Jay.

Twin Bridges (Livermore Falls)

Silver maples and other hardwoods line the river

here. No bridges or nearby roads make this piece

of the Androscoggin one of the most peaceful.

Two sets of rapids are midway down, not hazardous,

but take some boat control to maneuver

through successfully.

Warning: On the river right downstream of the

Twin Bridges there is a substantial ledge drop

rapid. Take out on the island and portage around

rapids.

Foundry Road Access (Livermore Falls)

This hand-carry site provides paddlers access to

a peaceful, unbroken stretch of the river. After

crossing the Androscoggin on Route 4 North, turn

right at the first traffic light onto Main Street in

Livermore Falls. Continue straight at the 90 degree

turn and follow Foundry Road and travel

approximately 0.3 miles to the signed put-in. An

alternative hand-carry site is located on the opposite

bank on River Road in Livermore.

WALKING TRAILS,

PARKS & FIELDS

A network of short trails linked to multi-use trail

corridors provide numerous hiking opportunities

and connect the region’s communities to one another

and the Androscoggin. Community-driven

efforts led by groups like Chisholm Trails are helping

to create new trails that further connect schools and

downtown villages to open spaces along the river.

9

Foundry Trail, Livermore Falls

This easy, paved, multi-use trail begins at Bridge

Street off Rt. 4 Northbound, immediately after the

bridge (Gazebo Park) and ends at Shuy Corner, near

the junction of Rts. 133 and 17. This newer trail

will follow the Androscoggin River along Foundry

Road through the historic birthplace of the industrial

revolution in the Androscoggin Valley. Though

all the buildings are gone, this is where Alvin Record

built the first pulp and paper mill in Maine.

8

French Falls River Walk, Jay

The Jay High School Science Club created this

trail, in 1996. Two short loops totaling 1.25 miles

wind behind French Falls Park and provide good

views of the Androscoggin. The recreation fields

and trails are located at the end of French Falls

Lane, which is located on Route 4/17 across from

the Spruce Mountain High School.

Spruce Mountain Ski Slope

Spruce Mountain Ski Slope in Jay is located right on

the banks of the Androscoggin River, and is a community

focal point for winter recreation. The affordable

11-trail ski area originally began in the 1950s as

a ski club for interested winter enthusiasts. It opened

as a public mountain in 1960 and is still largely maintained

by volunteers from the communities of Jay,

Livermore, and Livermore Falls. It’s a blast from the

past, as you rise 300 vertical feet to the summit of the

mountain via three rope tow lifts. Back in the day, the

volunteer ski club worked with the local paper company

across the river, the Otis Falls Mill, to wire some

of its hydroelectricity to the mountain to power the

lights and rope tows. Later snow making was added

to the list of modern changes. The mountain offers

ski classes for all ages. Enjoy a night of skiing under

the lights, or take a jaunt around the cross-country

ski trails that traverse the mountainside to the north.

Meet the FSB Jay Team!

You probably already know them. Our employees are very involved in

the communities we serve and our Jay crew is no different.

You'll find FSB staffers serving up hotdogs at the Spruce Mountain

concession stand, collecting food for a food drive or handing out free

passes to ski at Spruce Mountain. You may even see branch manager,

Amanda Lee, volunteering her time on the Wilton Events Committee, as

treasurer for two local baseball leagues, or serving as secretary for the

JLLF Chamber!

It is clear that at Franklin Savings Bank, we are more than just

bankers. We are community builders.
