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.
For more area information on Livermore Falls, visit
www.lfme.org or call the Livermore Falls Town Office at
(207) 897-3321.
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.)

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.

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.

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.
