Location: Oxford County, Maine
Water Source: Wight Brook
Drop: 150 Feet
Flow: Year
Directions: In Newry at the junction of Rts. 2/5/26, take Rt. 26 north for 8 miles to the sign to Step Falls Preserve on the right (there is no sign visible from the road for the preserve - look for a gravel turn in just before the Wight Brook bridge). Turn into the preserve and park near the sign in the trees.
Notes: I went to Step Falls in Maine October 19, 2004. From the preserve parking area, shown in photos 6 & 7, take the trail to the left of the sign and hike uphill along the brook to the falls. The directions I had said the hike is about 1/4 mile - I think it was a little longer. You will see falls along the way that keep getting bigger as you go upstream. I went to the sign that indicated the end of the preserve, shown in photo 8. Follow the yellow paint spots on the trees. In some places the trail was a little hard to follow, but I just kept going upstream and eventually would find the trail marks again. The covered bridge was west of Step Falls.
