This Waterfall Gorge Swimming Hole In Maine Is So Hidden You’ll Probably Have It All To Yourself

We’ve told you about hidden swimming holes before. And they’re great! But, this one is something special. It’s located off a dirt road in a place you really have to be searching for in order to find. The best part? You’ll probably be the only person there. Unless you bring a friend, of course!

To find Kezar Falls Gorge in Lovell, you'll first want to head to Waterford in Oxford County.

From Melby's turn off onto 5 Kezars Road, which will quickly turn into a dirt road.

After about 10 minutes you'll come to a small area for parking on the right. You'll likely be the only car here and you'll have to keep your eyes open to find it.

Once you've parked, grab your towel and a good pair of shoes for the journey down to the falls!

Things here are a bit rough, though it's not very long.

Once you've walked for about 2 minutes you'll be able to gaze down into the swimming hole.

The area feels like something out of Ferngully!

Continue heading down to the bank of the water.

Once there, you'll find it rocky so be careful! Even on sunny days this area is almost totally shady due to the high slabs of rock completely surrounding you.

Once in the water, you can swim in the main area or go further into the area where the small falls are located.

Everything here is completely hidden so even people walking along can easily miss that there's an entire swimming hole below!

Make sure to bring snacks so you can spend the day!
