Abol Falls Details

Another one of the beautiful waterfalls of the Baxter State Park, Abol Falls is not the most outstanding of the mix, but certainly worth a visit. More correctly classified as a series of cascade features, the falls here become more waterfall or rapid-like depending on the time of year. Spring is usually considered the best season to visit for viewing, though less of a gush is ideal for those seeking to hit the whitewater. Mount Katahdin is directly in the background as a backdrop too, making any time of year worth a visit.
