Modest Saco River cascade in Fryeburg, Maine, at the AMC Swans Falls Campground put-in.
At a glance
Overview
Swans Falls is a modest rocky cascade on the Saco River in Fryeburg, best known as the site of the AMC Swans Falls Campground and Saco River canoe put-in. Paddlers line or carry around the drop; the river below sees heavy summer canoe and tube traffic. Treat the falls as a view-and-put-in stop rather than a jumping venue.
