From November through April, the ferry does not operate due to the formation of thick ice during cold winter months.
Get around
Frye Island has a network of roads that span the entire island. All roads are dirt/gravel, and are maintained extremely well by the public works department.
Transportation on the island is mainly car or golf cart (most homeowners own golf carts which are permissible as transportation on the island).
There are also many bike and hiking trails on the island for those looking for outdoor adventures.
