Christine Falls

Christine Falls

So close the falls can be heard from the parking area. From Route 30, just east of the village of Speculator, these falls are easily accessible and are a great place to stretch your legs. Need to cool off? The two falls drop approximately 20 feet to a fantastic swimming hole. This spot truly feels like a hidden oasis.

How to get there

From the intersection of Route 30 and Route 8 in Speculator, follow Route 8/30 toward Wells. Continue for 3.6 miles to a small unmarked access below the dam on the left. This is a small dirt pull-off behind the guardrails.

Hiking

From the parking area, locate the path to the back of the parking area. The walk is a rocky downhill slope to a rocky spine overlooking the falls. This is a less than 0.1 mile walk. This is a simple trail in winter, but take care with possibly slippery footing. Please stick to the trail and the swimming areas, the surrounding forest is private property.
