The Big and Little Niagara Falls are tucked into the forest south of Kidney Pond in Baxter State Park and are among the many stunning natural landmarks in this area. The two waterfalls are located on the Nesowadnehunk Stream just south of Lily Pad Pond and can be reached by starting at the popular Daicey Pond Campground and hiking south on the Appalachian Trail for just over a mile until you get to the falls. Alternatively, start at the Kidney Pond Campground and hike the lesser-known route, which is 4.6 miles of hiking and includes about a mile of paddling a park canoe on still water, making for a far more interesting adventure.
