Written Directions

Start your route in the town of Gilead, MN (which is just about 27 miles west of Bethel, MN). From Gilead head south on state route 113 as it follows the NH and ME state line for approx 28 miles and comes out in Fryeburg (the route's end point).

Scenery

Twisty road with lots of tree cover. You'll be passing through the stunning White Mountain National Forest area and the beautiful scenery along the NH and Maine state line.

Drive Enjoyment

Some rough areas but mostly good pavement and lots of twists and turns.

Tourism Opportunities

Not really any place to stop along the way but plenty of amenities on either end (in Gilead or Fryeburg).

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.

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.

Great during the fall for the colors. Often times when you stop at the scenic overlook at the top, you can see rock climbers across the valley on the mountain face, but only if you look closely! :)
