Cool flagship store
Great store to visit especially for fly fishers. They offer fishing classes and have a stocked trout pond. We primarily visit to feed the fish- they have a coin operated fish food dispenser.
Bring your quarters to feed the trout. A lovely outdoor park-like setting surrounds the historic flagship store.

Country store
The closest store to the Sheep Shack. Their slogan puts it best: if they don’t have it, you don’t need it. Really great deli sandwiches and locally made products from syrup to hats.

We haven’t used this company but they seem very legit and have seen others on the river who have gone through them. So if you are looking for a river float or kayak, give them a ring.
If your group has two vehicles, we can talk you through how to do a river float independently and we have tubes and a floating cooler available upon request.

River access, a great playground, golf, and a swimming pond that’s clear and lovely. Very good for young children who aren’t river ready but want to cool off.

The best, family owned, enormous bookstore. I could spend half a day here. I think I have spent half a day here. They have a great little cafe with good coffee and lots of vegetarian options. If you go to one store, make it this one.

Some might call this the East Fork Pottery of New England. My fave are their mixing bowls, pie dishes and pitchers.
