About this Location

Long Falls Dam Road is a scenic drive located in western Maine. The road stretches for approximately 17 miles and is located in the heart of the North Maine Woods.

The road is mostly unpaved, and it can be quite rough in places. It winds its way through forests, past lakes, and along the banks of rivers and streams. The road is not heavily traveled.

One of the highlights of Long Falls Dam Road is the Long Falls Dam, which was constructed in the 1950s to generate hydroelectric power. The dam creates a reservoir that is popular for fishing, kayaking, and other outdoor activities.

Along the road are several campgrounds, including the Moxie Falls Campground, which offers scenic views of Moxie Falls, one of Maine's tallest waterfalls.
