At a glance
Overview
Norridgewock Falls is a historic set of drops on the Kennebec River at Norridgewock, Somerset County, near the colonial-era Abenaki mission site associated with Father Sebastien Rasle. The river is broad here with ledges and rapids rather than a single tall drop, and access is informal from town roads and river-adjacent parks. It is a viewing and history stop; swimming is not advisable given current and variable flow.
