At a glance
Overview
Devil's Horseshoe is a cascade on the Bear River in Newry, in Oxford County's Grafton Notch corridor off Route 26. It sits in the broader Grafton Notch / Mahoosucs waterfall cluster that includes Screw Auger, Mother Walker, and Step Falls. Treat it as a short-walk scenic stop rather than a swim; the Bear River is swift and the ledge is slick.
