About Reid State Park
Reid State Park offers a refreshing coastal escape with its crisp ocean waters and scenic shoreline in Maine. This resort-style spot combines the invigorating chill of cold springs with the warmth of sandy beaches, making it a unique swimming hole among hot springs in Maine. Its inviting atmosphere and natural beauty create a relaxed yet vibrant coastal experience.
Getting There
You can reach Reid State Park easily by car, with drive-up access that requires no hiking. Located just beyond Georgetown on Route 127, clear signage guides you directly to the park entrance. Ample parking is available, making arrival hassle-free even on busy summer days.
What to Expect
Expect a well-maintained park featuring broad ocean beaches alongside facilities like a snack bar, picnic tables, grills, and a bathhouse with showers. The water is refreshingly cold, contrasting with the warm sun and sandy shore. Toward the south end, a tidal river provides an additional swimming and tubing spot, offering variety within this popular Maine swimming hole.
Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit during summer when the park is fully open and the weather is ideal for ocean dips. Bring swimwear, towels, and cash or card for the entrance fee and snack bar. Note that while the park is family-friendly with amenities, its natural tidal river swimming area can have strong currents, so exercise caution when venturing there.
