The population was 2,069 at the 2000 census. A year-round resort area, North Conway is a village within the town of Conway, which is bounded on the east by the Maine state line. The White Mountain National Forest is to the west and north. Conway is home to Cathedral Ledge (popular with climbers), Echo Lake State Park, and Mount Cranmore. North Conway is known for its large amount of outlet shops.
North Conway is located at 44.051534, -71.122752.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 11.2 km² (4.3 mi²). 11.1 km² (4.3 mi²) of it is land and 0.1 km² (0.04 mi²) of it (0.70%) is water. North Conway is drained by the Saco River.
The picturesque small village is nestled directly in the heart of the White Mountains, and has long been popular with tourists and artists, particularly after the Portsmouth, Great Falls & Conway Railroad extended service in 1872 from Conway to North Conway. In 1874, the company built an extraordinary Second Empire depot, designed by Nathaniel J. Bradlee of Boston. In 1932, "snow trains" began carrying enthusiasts to "the birthplace of American skiing," as North Conway is known.
But increasing automobile travel brought the decline of trains. The railroad, then part of the Boston & Maine, abandoned passenger service to the area in 1961, and freight service in 1972. Subsequently, the Conway Scenic Railroad was established. Today, the line offers visitors a tour of this spectacularly beautiful region, including Crawford Notch. The landmark station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The memory of Schneider and Gibson lives on with trails named after both, as well as the Meister Hut at the top of the mountain.
