Smalls Falls, Cascading waterfall in Franklin County, Maine.
Multiple waterfalls totaling 54 feet in height create a series of pools along the Sandy River, surrounded by mineral-rich gorge walls.
The falls gained increased public attention following a fatal incident in May 2022, leading to enhanced safety protocols for visitors.
The Smalls Falls Rest Area functions as a gathering point for New England residents seeking natural swimming spots during summer months.
Visitors can access facilities including picnic tables, charcoal grills, and pit toilets while exploring the falls from May through October.
The gorge walls display distinct mineral patterns in beige, orange, green, black, brown, gold, and ivory colors.
