Four Falls, as one would surmise consist four major drops and a number of smaller falls over broken bedrock. The fall is about ten meters wide with the drops varying in height. The falls is in a rural setting just off the Trans Canada Highway. Even with the close proximity to civilization it has an amazing wilderness feeling due to thick over cover and the roar of the water as it careens over and around large boulders. The falls start with a broken dam that was once a waterwheel for milling grain. The final drop is where the area changes into the Aroostook Riverbed. The rocks in the stream are large and very angular and well polished.
The bedrock along this steep ravine dip upstream at a very acute angle. This structure allows large blocks to fall freely away from the falls producing small voids behind the falls. In the case of the largest fall when the water is low you can walk behind the fall watching the water cascade into the pool below. Each of the falls becomes smaller with greater evidence of large broken blocks of bedrock in the river.
Parking is near the bridge on Brown Road, and access to the trail is on the southeast side of the bridge.
