At a glance
Overview
Pembroke Reversing Falls is the tidal reversing falls at Reversing Falls Park in Pembroke, on Cobscook Bay in Washington County. The incoming and outgoing tide funnels through a narrow bedrock channel and creates standing rapids that switch direction with the tide; at slack water the whole feature quiets down. The town-maintained park has picnic tables, short shoreline paths, and no developed beach; this is a viewing and photography destination, not a swim.
