Two waterfalls on Nesowadnehunk Stream in the southern reaches of Baxter State Park, reached via the Appalachian Trail from Daicey Pond Campground. Little Niagara comes first at about 1 mile and Big Niagara a short distance farther, both seen by relatively few park visitors.
The falls are fed by Nesowadnehunk Stream. You'll find it in Piscataquis, Maine. It is protected within Baxter State Park.
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Plan for a moderate hike; sturdy shoes, water, and a little time on the trail are worth bringing. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2.4 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Millinocket, the closest town.
When to go: summer through early fall. Like most waterfalls, Little and Big Niagara Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
