Waterfall Hikes Near Ellsworth, ME
within 50 miles
Ellsworth works well as the last real town before Acadia, and the park holds the best hikes on this list. Hadlock Falls pours under a stone carriage road bridge on a 2.8 mile loop with 500 feet of climb. Man O'War Brook Falls drops toward Somes Sound on an easy mile. Out the other direction, Sullivan Falls and Bagaduce Falls are tidal falls that run backward when the tide turns. Eleven falls in the radius, and dogs are welcome nearly everywhere, Acadia included.
