Located in remote Piscataquis County, Gulf Hagas Falls can be found in Gulf Hagas Gorge, often referred to as the Grand Canyon of the East. Carved by the West Branch of the Pleasant River, the vertically walled slate gorge runs for 3 miles and features numerous waterfalls, cascades, and rivulets, making for spectacular natural scenery, which can be viewed from a trail that follows the rim of the canyon. The river drops 370 feet over the 3-mile length of the gorge, while the walls reach heights of over 130 feet, with several waterfalls along the way.
