FRYEBURG, Maine â Fryeburg selectmen will be asking voters in June to allow the town to pursue acquiring 100 percent ownership of Jockey Cap from a resident and put it into conservation.
The 600-foot granite dome has an accessible trail and at the summit there is a memorial to Adm. Richard Peary, who once lived in Fryeburg in the late 19th century.
One can reach the top in under 20 minutes. Dollar General, located at 124 Bridgton Road, is located at the base now, though there used to be a motel there.
From the summit of Jockey Cap, you can see Lovewell Pond to the east, and Mount Chocorua to the west.
