Location: Roxbury, ME Stream : Swift River. Finding : Easy. Access : Easy.
These falls are right along route 17 a few miles north of Rumford/Mexico. It is not marked, but it is clearly a popular swimming hole, so there is a large, obvious parking area beside the road. In fact, while I was there several people came to swim in the river below the falls.
The falls themselves were not particularly high. There were two drops of about five feet each. However, there were a lot of interesting sculpted rocks in the area. Also, the Swift River is a relatively large river, so the amount of water moving over the falls was more than I normally see.
Interesting, but not spectacular. Stop if you are in the area, but don't make a special trip.
