We’ve had a lot of rain this summer. When it hasn’t been raining it’s been hot. What do we do? We find a cool place to get in the water and cool off. Here’s a look at a short walk to an amazing waterfall not too far off the beaten path. Check it out, and don’t get it confused with the Huston Brook Falls located in Carrabassett Valley, that one is currently off limits due to landowners’ request. [Read more…]

Smalls Falls; check it out this fall!
Just south of Rangeley on Rt 4 you’ll find a state rest area (parking, picnic tables, bbq grills and some walking paths) to a magnificent set of waterfalls. In the spring you’ll find the falls raging and sometimes full of kayakers going over the falls. In the summer you’ll find tourists from all over the country stopping to enjoy the sights and take a load off. In the fall though, most of the tourists have headed back south, the leaves start to do their magical thing they do, and often fall rain storms will bring up the level of the water. So, if you’re in the area it’s a must stop that won’t disappoint! … oh, and keep a look out for Greggie’s glasses please. [Read more…]

A local Maine Guide has put lots of work into creating a safe parking area and well maintained trail reroute to maximize the experience of the falls. A great adventure for the whole family.
