Before you go

  • not much is known about these falls, but I suspect they are just rapids or small cascades on either Bowlin Brook or the East Branch of the Penobscot River.
  • access may only be possible via canoe or kayak.
  • the folks at the Bowlin Camps lodge may be able to provide more information
