Basin Cove Falls Details

Maine is known for it's rough and rocky shorelines, harsh ocean storms, and also an odd phenomenon seen in very few other places in the world, reversing falls. Created by the abrupt tidal changes that this coast is infamous for, when conditions are just right where water flows inland at a fast enough pace over certain obstacles, a waterfall is created. The same happens when the tide then goes out, but in reverse. Basin Cove Falls is one such place to witness this natural wonder.
