At a glance
Overview
Swift River Falls is a tiered drop on the Swift River in Roxbury, in the Rumford / Mexico foothills of western Maine. The river lives up to its name; flow is fast, cold, and ledge-driven even in summer. Treat this as a short roadside scenic stop along the Route 17 / Swift River corridor, not a swim destination.

Getting there
From Mexico / Rumford, follow Route 17 north toward Roxbury and watch for pull-offs along the Swift River near the mapped coordinates. The falls are a short walk from the shoulder; footing on wet ledge is the main hazard.
