Take An Easy Out-And-Back Trail To Enter Another World At Step Falls Preserve In Maine
There are a lot of ways to enjoy Maine. More than ever we’re thankful for the fresh air, forested land and plentiful coast. Getting outside has been a priority as we get closer to summer and that means we’re always on the lookout for trails and routes that allow us to explore. This one, leading into the woods, is a lovely option. Located in New Hampshire? This hike isn’t far from the border!

Located in Grafton Notch State Park, the hike to Step Falls will lead you through beautifully lush forest.
The trail, accessed from the Step Falls Preserve parking lot is just over a mile and leads through lush area of the preserve. And while we love the covering of the trees in the summer, we love the destination too!
It's hard to determine if it's more beautiful in the fall or summer, but one thing's for sure: If you want to cool down, this is a great summertime destination.
The out-and-back trail means you'll see signs indicating private property at the end. This is when you'll want to turn back. But first, be sure to enjoy the scenery and a refreshing dip in the water if it's warm enough!
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.
