MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • May 14, 2023
If you love beaches and birds – or more specifically, sand and sandpipers – we have a beautiful May paddling option for you: a 6-mile portion of the Saco River between Bog Pond and Swan’s Falls dam in Fryeburg. Our five-hour outing offered the kind of wilderness solitude that will not happen often on the Saco once summer begins. We saw no other people. Go in May, or wait until autumn. ~ Michael Perry
