Range Ponds State Park is a publicly owned recreation area located a few miles southwest of Auburn, Maine, in Androscoggin County.[3] The state park occupies the northern end of 290-acre (120 ha) Lower Range Pond.[4] The park offers a sandy beach with lifeguard-supervised swimming, kayaking, limited motorized boating, hiking trails, and fishing. Mountain biking trails, built with the help of local volunteers, provide several intermediate-level, single-track loops off a central double-track trail that winds through mature pine and hardwood forests.[5]
