Comment: Please note the locals call this Evans Notch Road and was closed to traffic due to flooding washing out bridges rwo years ago. There are campgrounds on either end and a historical house to visit on the Fryeburg end. ( Note the author of the ride improperly abbreviated Maine MN it's ME Keep the rubber side down !

Comment: I am so excited to have found this site. I am glad to share that the Stow Corner Store is now open! I opened the doors July 2010. The Bakery is in full swing as well as the ice cream. The menu offers a full service deli and special features daily. The House Italian is a 2 ft sub, mortadella, salami, capacola, provolone, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, red onions, black olives, pickles, and hots if desired topped with oil and vinegar house dressing. This sub can be made smaller :) Please check out homemade soups, always fresh served with hot crusty bread or crackers. I am looking forward to my second summer. Please consider taking the ride up route 113 out of Fryeburg, Maine to Stow while heading to Evans Notch. I hope everyone has a safe 2011. Best Regards, Maureen

Comment: This route is an Excellent non-weekend/ off season ride. In season there are alot of campers, hikers concintrated on northern end and varied wildlife etc found and seen along the whole ride. The road can be narrow at times. Starting in Fryeburg there are open fields and mixed small clusters of farms new and old. As you slowly climb north the terrain and road can be be a bit rough in spots but not bad. people talk about the veiw from the top but its the vistas getting there that are best for me.The northern end is dominated by the on and off old style national forest roads which are closed in the winter. Understand this isn't a freeway but a one of a kind return to the past. if your looking for big roads and Moose head to NH.... Fellow riders this is mountain riding at its best and worst depending on traffic and weather. I grew up in this area and have lived on both ends of this road and when i return for a ride this for me is part of a loop i make. Sarting Fryeburg 113 through the notch then Route 2 heading to Gorham NH then turn Left to pass the base of Mt Washington into Conway NH then back to Fryeburg. enjoy.

Comment: I have been riding for over 40 years. I really enjoy this route. if you like getting back to nature and a wonderful ride through the white mountains at slowewr speeds, then this is for you. If you want to be cruzin at 50 or higher, then this probably isn't for you. I noticed several turn off\rest points along the way.
