Moose Cave | Screw Auger Falls, Newry Maine

Hiking To This Aboveground Cave In Maine Will Give You A Surreal Experience

There are lots of interesting natural features throughout the state of Maine, including little-known caverns like today’s feature destination: Moose Cave Gorge. In fact, here at Only In Maine, we find caves in particular to be particularly fun, and we are always up for a below-ground excursion. Or, as is the case with Moose Cave Gorge, an above-ground expedition.

While most of the caves you’ll find here are coastal, created over time by pounding surf, there are few places to explore these geological wonders further inland. For a fun day’s adventure, take a hike in Grafton Notch to this interesting cave that can be accessed ABOVE the ground. How cool!

Moose Cave is located in Grafton Notch State Park, in Newry.

Screw Auger Falls is an out-and-back trail that takes you by a waterfall located near Newry, Maine.
