Timeline
16:41
Buy an artisan gelato. The shop is open late and makes it fresh daily, so you have plenty of time to enjoy it before it melts in the evening air.
17:21
Walk 20 minutes to Pinette's Landing. This is the closest spot to the bridge and offers a clear line of sight for the sunset alignment. Find a bench or a quiet patch of grass near the water.
17:41
Watch the sun set directly behind the Androscoggin Swinging Bridge. The original cables frame the final light of the day perfectly.
18:26
End the evening at Frontier. It is a short walk from the landing. The refurbished mill overlooks the river, and the art gallery or filmhouse is open late if you want to stay for the night.
Local tip
Pinette's Landing is a 20-minute walk from the gelato shop. Check the route for the most direct path along the river.
Check before you go
- The Gelato Fiasco is open until 23:00, so timing your visit 60 minutes before sunset works well.

Worth knowing
- Sun position is calculated. We have not confirmed the view is unobstructed.
