Swimming holes
FRENCHMEN’S HOLE | Sunday River, ME
A giant pothole below a 10-foot waterfall was a local best-kept secret for years, but now savvy swimmers know it lies just a few miles beyond Sunday River Ski Resort. There are even a few picnic tables here, so pack a lunch and stay for the day. Get there: From the junction of ME 5, ME 26, and US-2 in downtown Bethel, take the combined highway ME 5 north, ME 26 north and US-2 east, heading towards the Sunday River Ski Resort and the town of Newry. Travel on this highway for 2.7 miles and take a left onto Sunday River Rd, which is the access road for the ski resort. Travel on Sunday River Rd for 2.1 miles and you will approach a fork in the road. Veer right and continue another 1.0 mile to another fork. Fork right again, and travel an additional 4.4 miles along Sunday River Rd (turning into dirt at mile 3.1). Next you will want to take a left onto a dirt road that immediately travels over two old bridges. Just after the bridges, take a right and follow this new dirt road for 0.6 mile and the large parking pull offs will be on the right. Watch the YouTube video here to see how much fun... https://youtu.be/QXBmTStJG_s

If you'd prefer to just make reservations and let someone else give you a ride to the drop off location for tubing or kayaking, you must check this place out. I suggest reserving a time and tubes/kayaks as early in advance as possible. This summer has been particularly busy.

This is one that we hiked 3 years ago, with our dog Marley. We didn't get an early start, so we hiked up... and bussed down. Magnificent views. I'm old... I would say not an easy hike.
