Holmes Falls

Holmes Falls is a waterfall in Washington County, Maine, about 12 miles from the town of Machias. It sits at an elevation of about 85 feet, close to sea level in this corner of the state. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Jonesboro show July and August highs around 76°F with lows in the mid-50s, and August and September average the fewest wet days of the year, about eight each month. Several hikes lie within about 10 miles. The Money Island Trail and Homestead Trail are each roughly 9 miles away, and the Meadow Farm Loop Trail is just under 10 miles off, so the falls can be paired with a walk on the same outing.
