Located in Sebago Lake, the island is accessed via a public car ferry from Raymond Neck, or by private boat.

Frye Island is vacant from November through April, and the ferry does not operate during that time due to thick ice blocking its route during the winter.

At one point, the sharp and dangerous cliffs became so popular for jumping that numerous, often serious injuries were being reported each summer.

This in turn caused local law enforcement and the leap's landowners to take action, and multiple No Trespassing signs were placed along the cliff edge.

On hot summer days, the area is often patrolled by the Maine Warden Service, in order to ward off potential jumpers.

[5][6] Frye Island is composed of approximately 1,000 mostly wooded acres interlaced with 22 miles (35 km) of dirt roads.

Real estate on Frye Island has skyrocketed over the past decade or so, and many of the waterfront homes assess at extremely high values.

[7] Independence Day is the most celebrated holiday on the island, signified by its well known golf cart parade and fireworks display.
