FRISCO - To improve Frisco tourism on Main Street, the Town created a pocket guide - "Main Street Mile: Explore a Mile of Adventure."
With the Frisco Main Street walking map, visitors are now able to pinpoint town shops and attractions they want to visit ahead of time. And they even can take a free cell-phone walking tour of the area.
"So many tourists don't want to walk if they don't see something of value," said town manager Michael Penny. "Now they know what's there."
Main Street's shops, restaurants and historic sites are marked on the map with short descriptions - of course, businesses are always subject to change. It even gives information on local events, the town's Peninsula Recreation Area Adventure Park, the marina and historic sites found off the beaten path.
According to Town spokeswoman Teresa Paul, Frisco's walking map can be picked up at all businesses found on the walking map,
Frisco is a family-oriented town that offers affordable and diverse lodging, shopping and dining options. Tucked against the soaring peaks of the Ten Mile Range, with Lake Dillon at its border, there is plenty to do outdoors. In the winter, Frisco is known for great Nordic skiing, backcountry ski trails and snowshoeing trails, and dinner sleigh rides.
In the summer, the Frisco Peninsula draws bicycle riders, Frisbee golfers, softball teams and hikers. The Frisco Bay Marina offers motorboat, sailboat, canoe and kayak rentals for a scenic ride around Lake Dillon. In addition, Frisco offers a skateboard park and several summer concerts providing entertainment for the entire family.
Before you set out for a day of hiking or boating, enjoy the views from one of Frisco's fine communities. The views from Frisco are in every direction. When jogging or skiing out by the openspace still undeveloped on the Frisco Penninsula - and gazing back at the town, the clouds appear as if they might be fog in a Norwegian small town. But this is Colorado!
