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 Moxie Falls Scenic Area (State of Maine) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Moxie Falls drops about 90 feet. That makes it the 229th-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 Moxie Falls Trail reaches it about 1.8 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 150 feet of elevation gain, rated easy. The nearest town is The Forks. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Moxie Falls Scenic Area (State of Maine) for closures and current conditions.
Spring snowmelt (Apr-Jun). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
