Where the Waterfalls Are
Sullivan sits in or near the Aroostook and Downeast area of Maine. Northern and eastern Maine are lower and more rolling, but rivers still break over ledges as they head for the St. John valley or the Atlantic. Fish River Falls near Fort Kent in Aroostook County is a classic north-country river drop. Washington County, Downeast, has numerous small falls on coastal rivers around Cherryfield and Calais. In Hancock County, Acadia National Park contains Hadlock Falls and Man O'War Brook Falls, short cascades on granite tumbling toward the sea, and Grand Falls is another river fall in the county. These falls tend to be modest but sit in striking coastal and forest settings. Read the Maine waterfall guide.
