Ledge Falls

Ledge Falls is a waterfall in Maine, about 8 miles from the town of Danforth. The falls sit roughly three-quarters of a mile from the Ellis Trail, which makes the two easy to pair on a single outing in this corner of the state. Summer brings the mildest conditions, based on typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danforth. July highs run around 78°F with lows near 54°F, and September stays comfortable with highs around 70°F. Winters here are severe by comparison, with January highs typically in the mid-20s and lows near 2°F. Rain or snow falls on roughly 10 to 12 days in a typical month throughout the year, so it pays to plan around wet weather in any season. The station sits only slightly lower than the falls, so its readings should be a reasonable guide to what you'll find on site. The Ellis Trail is the closest neighbor, at well under a mile away. Farther afield, all within about 10 miles, are the Overlook Trail, the Boulder Ridge Trail and the Sucker Lake Trail. Together they give visitors several hiking options to round out a trip to the Danforth area.
