Snow Falls
A series of cascades totaling roughly 25 feet where the Little Androscoggin River cuts through a narrow gorge beside Route 26 in West Paris. A roadside rest area and short footbridge path give easy views into the flume-like gorge.
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 Maine DOT rest area / public for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

The Snow Falls Gorge rest-area path reaches it about 0.2 miles (out-and-back), rated easy. The nearest town is West Paris. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Maine DOT rest area / public for closures and current conditions.
Spring snowmelt (Apr-May). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
