There are a lot of different ways to enjoy the outdoors in Maine, but getting out for a hike is one of our favorites. And the biggest draw to a local hike is when the trail is easy, the air is fresh and the destination is one of the cutest and most lovely little waterfalls in the region. The next time you’re in search of adventure, head to Baxter State Park to enjoy this route!

We all know that Maine's Baxter State Park is one of the best places to access inland nature, but it can be hard to choose the best way to enjoy it. When we're looking for something simple with a great payoff, we love Little Abol Falls trail.
