Details: |
| This is a wide block type waterfall on the Beebe River, just upstream from the Route 175 bridge in Campton Hollow. The falls drop into a wooded gorge, with very good views available from the ledges along the river below the falls. |

Photography Notes: |
| The falls are a broad low drop. There are several rock ledges around that can serve as foreground elements. The falls face roughly southwest and would not benefit from sun exposure. This is a great waterfall to shoot in the morning or late in the day. As always, overcast days work too. |
|
Directions: |
| Take Route 175 north out of Plymouth for about 4 miles. In Campton Hollow, the falls are a short distance upstream from the Route 175 bridge. The trail, while short, is steep in places, and a slip is ill-advised, so please be sure to have proper footwear.
