Blue Hill Falls

Blue Hill Falls is a tide-reversing waterway on Route 175 between Blue Hill and Brooklin. Water flowing in and out of the salt pond from Blue Hill Bay roars beneath the newly built bridge (which replaced the historic and beloved Stevens Bridge). Take care when walking near the road here; the sound of the water drowns out the sound of oncoming cars. Kayakerswho bring their boats and gear, as none are rented herecan find surfable currents when the tide is running full force. To experience the tidal phenomenon at its most dramatic, check local tide charts, then visit at the time of absolute low tide, and wait for the change.
