The Little Androscoggin River cuts its way through a narrow gorge at Snow Falls in West Paris. At this special rest-stop, the state of Maine has constructed a fine picnic area, complete with trails on both sides of the gorge, picnic tables, restrooms, and plenty of parking. There are four distinctive cascade sets at Snow Falls, with the last being our favorite. It is a thin plunge flowing into a dark pool just below the footbridge over the river. The gorge, with walls up to 30 feet in height, is surrounded by fencing, making this place family friendly and safe for the little ones. The water may be sometimes dark and slightly foamy, but the gorge is interesting and beautiful, and the falls are right off the road, so include a visit to Snow Falls if you are close by.

This waterfall is located only a few feet from the road. There are plenty of log and green chain link fences providing many viewpoints of different angles of the gorge. There are many picnic tables to sit on and admire the falls, as well as a water pump in case you get thirsty.

Directions for this particular waterfall are not posted online. Please see directions in our published guidebook, New England Waterfalls: A Guide to More Than 400 Cascades And Waterfalls, or you can email us and we will happily provide them to you.
