At a glance
Overview
Ripogenus Falls is a cascade on the West Branch Penobscot River in the Millinocket / Ripogenus Dam country of Penobscot County, in the Katahdin region. The river here is swift and cold, with rafting companies running commercial whitewater trips below the dam. Treat this as a viewpoint and whitewater put-in area, not a swim spot.
