Before you go

  • this towering series of waterfalls is located deep within Baxter State Park.
  • there is no trail to the falls so access is most likely prohibited by the strict rules set by the state park.
  • this is probably the tallest waterfall chain in Maine and certainly one of the tallest on the East Coast
