Geocache Description:

The Snow Falls Gorge is a very scenic roadside rest area. The gorge is 300 feet long and 30 feet deep, there are four distinctive cascade sets at Snow Falls with a thin plunge flowing into a dark pool just below the footbridge over the river. There are covered picnic tables, charcoal grills, drinking water, restroom facilities and plenty of parking. Be sure to bring your own garbage bags, as there are no trash cans.

Just a small piece of History about the falls: These falls were named for a man named Captain Snow. The legend has it that Snow was killed there by the Indians about year 1762. This area was at that time a wilderness, with the settlement of New Gloucester, and at that time being just beginning, being the nearest community. Captain Snow and a Mr. Stinchfield, were engaged in the business of hunting and trapping on this stream. Their camp was said to have been pitched on the east side of the river, near the Falls. This would have put it in the vicinity of the picnic tables that now grace the rest area.
