At a glance
Overview
Bowlin Falls is a cascade on the East Branch Penobscot corridor near the historic Bowlin Pond camps in T5 R8 WELS. The record stores the county as Piscataquis, but T5 R8 WELS has historically been administered as part of Penobscot County in the Patten / Shin Pond area; verify if the distinction matters for planning. Approach is by logging road and informal path; treat it as a backcountry stop.
