This 0.6-mile trail near downtown Rumford offers unique views of Rumford Falls and the Rumford Falls Hydroelectric Station. The wide gravel path connects Bridge Street and South Rumford Road, following the east side of the river above the gorge.
The best view of the falls and dam is from a overlook down a very short gravel spur trail. A loop can be made by using the sidewalk on Prospect Street, allowing walkers to see the falls and hydroelectric station from a variety of angles. Because the trail is on private property, users are asked to stay on the marked route.
Directions: A small parking area can be found down a short dirt road off of Bridge Street. Trail users should be careful not to block either gate. The dirt road heads south off of Bridge Street 0.1 mile east of the traffic light on Rumford Island and 0.4 mile west of the intersection with Veterans Street.
