Bangor Daily News: Springtime waterfalls bloom in Acadia

Hadlock Falls, about 40 feet, runs under Waterfall Bridge on the Acadia carriage roads. The Hadlock Brook Trail starts across Route 198 from the parking area for the Goat Trail up Norumbega Mountain. It crosses a low, wet area, climbs beside the brook, passes under Waterfall Bridge and climbs beside the falls to the carriage road. You can also walk the carriage road from the Parkman Mountain parking area.
