Screw Auger Falls, Maine:

Screw Auger Falls in Grafton Notch State Park, Bethel, Maine:

Screw Auger Falls is a pretty little section of Grafton Notch State Park. The falls themselves aren't particularly high or impressive, but they're still nice. One of the great things is that you're allowed to walk right up to one of them--unlike most national parks. The real "screw auger" falls into a canyon, so you can't get real close to that one, but it looks like plenty of people walk up the canyon from further downstream. Trails go in many directions; you can follow them upstream or downstream; there are even several trials from the parking lot to the falls. Still, the main trails aren't difficult to discern; follow these and you'll find the falls pretty quickly. It's not a long walk to the falls, so if you've gone more than a quarter mile, you'll know you took a wrong turn someplace! The setting is also very serene. There are several picnic tables and picnic shelters right next to the stream, which is quite quiet above the falls. It would be a lovely place for a picnic or to spend a warm day. I visited in May, so it was a bit chilly. Still, snow melt makes the waterfalls nice and full this time of year!
