Lovewell Pond

Lovewell Pond Boat Ramp is a state-owned public launch located at the southeastern corner of Lovewell Pond in Fryeburg, Maine. The ramp provides convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore this scenic pond in Oxford County. To reach the ramp from downtown Fryeburg, head southwest on Main Street (US-302), turn left onto ME-113/ME-5 South (Portland Street) and continue for 3.3 miles, then turn left onto Fish and Game Road to access the launch area near the Eastern Slopes Regional Airport.

Paddlers should be aware that Lovewell Pond is managed as a loon sanctuary, with local residents having established protections for the wildlife. This means boaters should exercise caution and respect quiet zones to avoid disturbing nesting loons and other wildlife. The pond offers a peaceful paddling experience for those seeking a quieter water body away from heavy motorboat traffic, making it suitable for recreational kayaking and canoeing.
