Waterfalls & Swimming Holes From The Forks & Moxie

The Forks and Moxie work best when you want a Dead River day with a few big waterfall goals and one calm pond break. That is the right way to think about this stretch of Maine: longer drives, better payoffs.

Use the map first so you can see how spread out the pins are, then open each guide for access, parking, and whether the spot is worth the detour that day. For a broader western Maine waterfall set, see waterfalls near Moxie & The Forks.
