Angel Falls
One of Maine's highest waterfalls with a 90-foot drop and one of the state's longest single plunges, reached by a short trail that crosses mountain streams several times in Township D.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Township D (privately held; public trail access) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Angel Falls drops about 90 feet. That makes it the 236th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 66% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Angel Falls Trail reaches it about 1.1 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 200 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Houghton. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Township D (privately held; public trail access) for closures and current conditions.
Late May to early July. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
