About this place

Added by Ben Groski

Houston Brook Falls is a short hike that provides amazing views of the falls and on hot days, swimming at its base. This family-friendly trail is located near Bingham, Maine.

Houston Brook Falls is a 32-foot waterfall that flows into the Kennebec River. The hike usually takes about 15 mins roundtrip, but more time can be spent at the falls.  

The Trail

From the parking lot there is a small trail to the left. The trail is unmarked, but visible and easy enough to follow. You can hear the falls from the trail which aids in direction. The trail takes you to the base of the falls. The rocks are very slippery around the falls, so please avoid climbing over rocks along the sides to reach the top.

The same trail you took to get to the falls will take you back to the parking lot. This trail is dog-friendly.
