Angel Falls, near Rangeley (Township D)

Angel Falls is a short (.4-miles or so depending on where you park), fairly easy hike to a 90-foot waterfall, which is very grand (although doesn’t appear to have much water in late summer). There is some scrambling over rocks and fording of streams — which can have more or less water depending on the time of year. The trail is blazed and easy to follow.

Directions: From Oquossoc, take Route 17 south for about 18.5 miles to Houghton. Turn right onto an unnamed gravel road that is on the edge of a field. Immediately cross a bridge over a river, then turn right onto Bemis Road and drive north for about 3.3 miles. (Check ahead of time whether Bemis Road is open!) You’ll see spray painted signs for Angel Falls. Around 3.3. miles, you can turn down a very rough gravel road, which goes sharply down, or park at the top here if you don’t have a great car for this kind of thing. At the bottom of the dirt road, where some can park, look for trail signs and red blazes. The trail crosses a stream and then cuts over to follow Mountain Brook up to the falls.
