Lamprey River Advisory Committee: Wadleigh Falls, Lee

Wadleigh Falls (also spelled Wadley Falls) is a natural falls with a partly breached dam on the Lamprey River where Route 152 crosses it in Lee. The Lamprey River Advisory Committee says the site has no formal trails or public parking. Its river guide places a public canoe access with a small parking area and history kiosk 1/8 mile west of the bridge on Route 152. The bridge is on a sharp curve without a sidewalk, and traffic can be heavy. The land around the dam is privately owned and the public is asked not to trespass, so view the falls only from public ground. A small dirt pull-off is also located on Tuttle Road.
