Grafton Notch State Park, State park in western Maine, United States.
The 3,000-acre natural area includes Screw Auger Falls, several mountain peaks, and sections of the Appalachian Trail through forests and rock formations.
Indigenous peoples used the valley passage between mountains as a trade route before the area became officially protected as a state park in 1963.
The park serves as an educational center where rangers conduct programs about local ecology, geological formations, and wildlife conservation throughout the year.
Visitors can access multiple parking areas near trail heads, waterfalls, and picnic spots, with winter maintenance allowing for snow sports activities.
The exposed bedrock in the park reveals 420-million-year-old metamorphic formations, displaying evidence of ancient geological processes and glacial carving.
