The Gorgeous 1.7-Mile Hike In Maine’s Big Falls Preserve That Will Lead You Past A Waterfall And River
One of the best ways to remember all the ways we love Maine is to get outside and see the landscape! If you’re a regular reader you’ll know just how much we love hiking through the state to see just how varied the land can be. From forests to coastal paths, Maine offers a lot in the way of beautiful views and there’s always something new to enjoy. We particularly love the trails that offer lots of different features and this one, in New Gloucester, does just that!
Big Falls Preserve in New Gloucester is home to the 1.7-mile Big Falls Loop Trail.
The route follows the former Woodman Road, then winds through the 40-acre preserve leading visitors under shaded trees in the summer, colorful foliage in autumn and white snowy branches in the winter.
Continue the route and you'll make your way closer to the waterfall. In the winter things here will be quiet, but in the spring and summer you might just hear the rush of the water.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
