It is neat & the adjoining park is well appointed & maintained. Plus, it is v. easy to get to. Right off Route 1 (in ‘Hancock’), right before you get to the bridge that marks the start of the ‘Schoodic National Scenic Byway‘.
I found ‘it’, i.e., the Falls, on Google maps when I was looking for a place to stop for my picnic breakfast on my way to the ‘Bold Coast‘ this Tuesday. I usually stop in ‘Sullivan‘ (on the other side of the bridge) but now wanted a change. I am glad I found it.
The Falls per se & the Preserve are a smaller version of the much more famous ‘Reversing Falls‘. Giving that it also does NOT enjoy the legendary ‘boiling waters’ tides of the ‘Lubec‘ area the falls are not as roiling & dramatic — but are still mesmerizing.
If you are on Route 1 this is certainly worth a 30-minute detour. I sure am glad I stopped & I will be stopping there again for future breakfasts. Great place — ideal for picnic meals.
