Sunday River Resort summer river spots
Newry, Maine
Informal summer wade pools along the Sunday River below the ski resort in Newry, Maine.
At a glance
Overview
The Sunday River corridor in Newry has a handful of wade pools and river bends below the ski resort that see summer use when flow drops. Access is informal from pull-offs along Sunday River Road, and the river runs cold and rocky even in August. Treat the summer river spots as a cool-off on a Grafton Notch or Bethel day, not a destination swim.
