Peacock Beach State Park offers a sandy shoreline along the Kennebec River, ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking. Visitors can fish from the shore or launch small boats for paddling. The park's calm waters and grassy areas make it a family-friendly spot for a relaxing day by the river. Distinctive for its riverfront setting and easy access from Gardiner, it provides a quiet escape without leaving town.

  • Swim in the designated roped-off area on the Kennebec River

  • Fish for bass and perch from the shoreline
