I used to visit at least once a week in the summers of my younger days to go swimming and mountain 🏔️ biking. I later brought my kids a few times to swim. I had a friend who lived on Bennett RD. and I would park and ride my bike to the falls. There isn't a real waterfall. It is part of the Lamprey River and it is a popular swimming 🥽 and 🎣 fishing area. Popular with families. The chance of encountering a Lamprey eel is slim. They are further upstream and hang out in the shallows. Better fishing 🎣 further down river. I have encountered 🐢 turtles, though not the snapping kind. They do live and nest along the river. I've even seen beavers, but, at night. I visited today and there was a young guy sitting in a yoga position meditating in the freezing 🥶 cold. Parking is limited. The early summer is the best time to visit when the water levels are at the highest.

This is a very nice hiking trail, especially during the autumn season, but not much of a waterfall location. Unless we missed it, but I don't think so. The trail/trails aren't marked, but it was easy enough to navigate the area. If you like "rock hopping ", then this is a place for you. It's also an easy trail to hike.

Clean, quiet place. Pretty nice. I stopped just because on my way to Boston from Portland for a swim. Just random bucket list kind of activity…but nobody else was out there. Can’t complain about not having company to keep an eye on me over a peaceful break in the woods.

We visited Packer's Falls 2 weeks ago. It used to be so nice here. Now water is look dirty, before we left there's a group of teen peed near the rock, very close to water. It's so gross.

Water is very high because of all the rain we have had.
