From the top of Crawford Notch to the Maine border in Fryeburg, the Saco River snakes its way for 41 miles. Affectionately known as “The Saco,” the river has been the lifeblood of the valley since the arrival of the first settlers.

There is much history related to the Saco. Most of it fascinating. Fish many times play a role in that history. The fact that the Saco is the longest undammed major river in New Hampshire in and of itself is history. The lack of dams makes the Saco a haven for those who like to angle.
