4/3/2026 - Salmon River Falls

A short ride to my favorite close-by falls.  What a shock when I got there!  I've been to these falls more times that I can remember and I've never seen even a flow this strong.  I would have liked to go down the gorge trail a little, but it was closed likely due to the flow and the fact that there is still some ice showing on the walls of the gorge.  You can see the normal flow here in my last visit to them.  Though it wasn't the first picture, I placed a picture of a sign post at the top of the falls.  You are seeing roughly 3 or 4 feet (91 or 122cm for my European friends) of it.  I can't recall but I believe it is at least 6 feet tall (183cm).  Normally, you can sit right next to it as there is a little ledge making it like a bench.  Quite an impressive amount of water given this usually has only 3 small streams coming over.

Site Notes: There are a couple of overlooks that are 100% accessible and quite nice viewing locations!

3/30/2026 - Upper Robert Treman State Park

Our last stop for the day was another close by.  The upper section of the same park as the last post.  I've been here before and walked the gorge trail to see Lucifer Falls.  But the first falls below were not visible then due to foliage.  Quite neat to see them.  Unfortunately, the gorge trail was closed but I did get a couple of really nice shots of the small falls behind the old mill.

Site Notes:  Both of these views are accessible.  Just be cautious as it is roadside.

3/30/2026 - Lower Robert Tremen State Park

After the first stop that I let my wife choose, I decided we should check out another state park that is only a few minutes away.  I've been to this a couple of times in the past but I've never gone to the lower falls because the park was open and busy.  It turned out to be a good idea since they hadn't started blocking off the creek to fill the swimming area.  It provided a quite unique view of the falls.

Parking Location: ///stuffed.expects.directors
Site Notes:  Most of these views are fully accessible.  The pictures taken in what will be the swimming area are not accessible.
