Step Falls Hiking Trail Mahoosuc Land Trust — Attraction in Newry

We took our dog for a short hike in Step Falls Preserve while visiting the area. There's a good size parking area along Route 26, but it can fill up on nice weekends and no parking along the highway. A short yellow-blazed trail follows Wight Brook upstream to Step Falls. It's easy to the base of the falls, but gets steeper past that. Step Falls consists of a series of cascades and small drops totaling almost 200 feet. There are a number of side paths that go out to the falls in different places. Lots of swimholes if you're looking to take a dip. The top of the waterfall is clearly marked where private property begins. Please respect private property and stay within...

Great place to pull off to get some exercise and stretch your legs. The walk in is pretty easy and can get slightly more challenging if you decide to go up higher. There is a Porta potty in the parking lot and it was clean! Loved the trail in and if you pay attention you may find find a fairy house....or village! The falls are picturesque and we had a ton of fun just exploring and being mesmerized by the water. I imagine this may be a popular place in summer but very beautiful in fall too! Would love to come back in other seasons to check it out. Definitely put this...

Fantastic family-friendly hiking trail with some great swimming pools and water slides at the top, along with superb views of the neighboring mountains. Of the hikes my family did this week (60 yr old g-parents, 3 25-35 yr olds, and 2 kids under 5) near Bethel and Andover, this was our favorite. Not ideal if you're looking for a workout, or for remote wilderness, but perfect for a 1/2 day...
