Fryeburg is a lovely old New England village nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains in western Maine. This town of approximately 3500 people has remained virtually unchanged over the years, and has a slow pace and a peaceful atmosphere. The beautiful Saco River meanders through the area, and offers plenty of swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and camping opportunities. Fryeburg is part of the fertile Mount Washington Valley, and is surrounded by rivers, lakes and over 750 thousand acres of national forest lands. Just a short drive from Fryeburg is the Range Ponds State Park. Here visitors enjoy a wide, sandy beach where they can swim, picnic and play in the sand. A beautiful promenade parallels the pond for 1000 feet right next to the beach. The Western Mountains region, which includes Fryeburg, has a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities that include back country mountain biking tours, cycling adventures, horseback riding and hiking trails, canoe and kayak rentals and shuttle service on the Saco River. Autumn brings backcountry fall foliage tours and wintertime brings snowmobiling and skiing to the mountains.
