Waterfall Hikes in Maine (ME)

Maine's waterfalls arise from the state's rugged mix of northern Appalachian highlands, glacially carved gorges, and long river valleys that drain the forested interior to the rocky coast and Acadia's coastal headlands. Hikes tend to be moderate backcountry routes and rocky canyon scrambles along granite ledges and logging roads, with a few short family-friendly and drive-up options; seasonal spring melt and autumn color make these cascades notably variable and scenic.
