Katahdin Stream Falls

Maine

About

Katahdin Stream Falls is a waterfall in Maine within the Appalachian National Scenic Trail lands, about 21 miles from Millinocket, the nearest town. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. At a nearby weather station in Patten, typical July averages run about 76°F for highs and 55°F for lows. That station sits roughly 850 feet lower than the falls, so expect cooler temperatures at the falls. Owl Trail begins just 0.1 mile away, and Hunt Trail is about a mile off. Little Abol Falls and the Park Tote Road, a cross-country skiing route, are each a little under 2 miles from the falls.
