Cascade Stream flows especially impressively after a storm! There’s nothing more tranquil than being serenaded by the sound of flowing water.

Though it’s under a mile, Cascade Stream Gorge Trail offers tons of places to explore and so much natural beauty. The views are incredible and show off the best that Maine has to offer.

With so many swimming spots, it’s easy to see why the trail is most traveled in summer, but no matter the season, you’re sure to get an amazing view. You’ll need sure footing if you go in the winter with all the ice, though the white cliffs make for incredible scenery.
