This spot is where the community started. Fort Halifax was the founding location for Winslow, from which Waterville split in 1802. The park offers a pleasant walk to the point, and upstream through a silver maple grove to the ledges leading to Ticonic Falls. It’s the perfect place for a picnic. Fishermen love the shorelines of both the Kennebec and Sebasticook Rivers.
This park is the gathering place for the region's 4th of July celebration, with bands playing in the pavilion and fireworks set off from the point. Fort Halifax is on the National Register of Historic Buildings and is the oldest wooden block house in the country.
