Webhannet Falls Trail at Webhannet Falls Park in Wells, Maine is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads through a small park located off of Route 1 that features a beautiful 12-foot tall waterfall.
This 12-foot waterfall cascades down Webhannet River and is about 15-feet wide at its base. The trail connects the parking lot to Route 1, which is no more than 200-feet long or 400-feet out-and-back. Access to the base of the waterfall is only permitted to fisherman and lies on private property as of 2022.
