If you really want to experience the beauty of the Pine Tree State, you should get out there...amongst the pine trees! You don't have to be an experienced hiker to hit the trails - there are many that are easy enough for just about anyone. One such trail is the Moxie Falls Trail, which is not only easy-peasy, but also boasts a beautiful waterfall.
Lace up your hiking boots, gather up the kids, and head to the Moxie Falls Trail. You'll find it in The Forks.
Hikers of all ages and abilities will love this short, sweet trail that's less than one mile, each direction. It's mostly flat, with an elevation gain of just 220 feet along the way.
There are several interesting features along the trail that are certain to entertain the kids and capture their imaginations. The section of boardwalk is fun to stomp along, and it keeps your feet from getting too muddy.
The root system of this tree alongside the trail is a curious kid's dream come true. You'll want to spend some time checking out before moseying along down the trail.
The trail follows the river, which provides a gurgling soundtrack to your hike, and plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife. You'll soon hear the roar of the waterfall ahead.
After climbing some stairs, you'll reach the viewing platform where you'll feast your eyes on Maine's tallest waterfall.
Moxie Falls tumbles 100 feet into the river below, and it's truly impressive. Make sure to bring your camera to capture this spectacular sight.
The only thing that could make this place more beautiful? Fall foliage! Plan your hike during peak leaf peeping season for a sight you won't want to miss.
