Great Falls

Watching [the Great Falls] from either side of the river is a study in contrasts. When the river is at its most docile, the falls stand as silent sentinels guarding the upper reaches of the Androscoggin. However, when the winter’s snows begin to melt and the spring’s rains begin to fall, the Great Falls are transformed. No longer are they silent; instead, they become part of a raging torrent of water. Each spring, millions of gallons of water roar over the falls oftentimes hiding the falls entirely.

More than just a geological feature, the falls have been a part of the history of this area. From the oral histories of the Native Americans to the written history of the settlers, the Great Falls have figured prominently.
