At a glance
Overview
Hawkes Preserve is a Presumpscot Regional Land Trust property in Gorham, with a short trail down to the Presumpscot River. It is a quiet local access point rather than a developed beach; the river here has gravel and cobble banks, pockets of slower water, and good seasonal paddle launching. Summer flow is governed by upstream releases, so read the current on arrival.
