Overview
Skowhegan Falls is the downtown Kennebec River drop in Skowhegan, Somerset County, where the river wraps around the island and splits past the historic mill district. Public viewing is from the Route 2 bridge area and the town's riverfront parks; this is a village landmark, not a swim. The gorge is narrow, deep, and dangerous below the dam release.
