The little known and lesser visited Hay Brook Falls can be found deep within the KI Jo-Mary Multiple Use Forest in Piscataquis County in Central Maine and offers a stunning spot for a tranquil afternoon of relaxing without the crowds. The 28-foot horsetail-shaped waterfall is set on the Hay Brook, which travels down a chute, hits an upward sloping slide, changes direction by 90 degrees, and crashes into a small pool. Hay Brook Falls can be reached by two trails, namely from the Gulf Hagas trailhead, offering a 2.4-mile loop to the waterfalls and back, or along a short 0.2-mile one-way hike from the 4WD trailhead.
