Attractions in town include Lake Sherburne the Little Ossipee Lake and Ossipee Mountain, on top of which is a fire tower that is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register. The town of Waterboro is only a half-hour's drive to Old Orchard Beach, Maine's most well known seaside amusement park and home to the state's largest waterslide and only wooden roller coaster. Other activities in the Waterboro area include swimming, boating, fishing, sea kayaking, sightseeing cruises, hiking, biking and golf. Outlet shopping in the town of Freeport is about an hour from Waterboro, and the "Twin Cities" of Saco and Biddeford are approximately 15 miles away.
