I owned property for at least a year in Machiasport before I ever stopped at Bad Little Falls Park in Machias.  What a treasure.  If you are heading east on Rt 1, it is the last right turn before you go over the river into downtown.  There is a small parking area for 4-5 cars.  The park is hidden — not really visible from the road — there is a pedestrian bridge over the falls.  The falls are spectacular as they crash over the rocks — you really can’t appreciate them unless you are on foot.  There are several decks, gardens and picnic areas.
Since I discovered it, it’s become my go-to spot to pack up a lunch and eat in a beautiful setting before running my other in-town errands.
