While the trail at this Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust preserve is short, it is steep and feels at time a little perilous, especially if wet. But it’s well worth it for the chance to ascend the roughly 0.7 mile up this dramatic stream and its falls. There are a few pools that look swimmable, although I imagine very cold!
Directions: From downtown Rangeley, drive south on Rt. 4 to the intersection of South Shore Drive and Town Hall Road, where you take take a left. Drive 100 yards, bare left, and then immediately on your right will be the entrance sign for the trail head. Drive up the steep gravel drive to the parking area. For those who don’t think their low-clearance cars can make it, there is a narrow place to pullover for one car on the street below.
