Have You Been to the Amazing Devil’s Den in Andover, Maine?
In the little town of Andover is a neat cave with a cool waterfall.
What's great about Maine hideaways (like the Devil's Den in Andover) is that they are accessible and beautiful in both summer and winter. This area is visited more often in the summe,r with a great hike, waterfalls, and a swimming hole to cool off.
But one Mainer knows that it can be just as spectacular in the winter. Chris Lee found just how gorgeous Devil's Den is when it's freezing out.
According to Only In Your State, it's only a stone's throw away from the Silver Ripple Cascade.
Chris says that they call this place, "the poor man's Ice Castles."
Chris says it's not a very long walk, and the snow is packed down because it's also a snowmobile trail.
Want to find the cave? Find the waterfall first, and there it is!
Only In Your State has directions:
Take ME 120 east for about half a mile. You'll cross the bridge over the Ellis River before turning left onto South Arm Road. Continue on South Arm Road heading north for about 2.5 miles and then take a left where the road forks. Continue on South Arm Road for about 2 more miles before taking a left onto a dirt road with no signs. In your Maine Gazetteer, this road be included as Devil's Den Road. Next, head a bit further east on Devil's Den Road and you'll come to the bridge over Black Brook. Park on the right before crossing this bridge. The falls begin about 30 feet down from this bridge and Devil's Den Cave is right there.
If you want to take a little trip up to Andover, it's so worth it. Thanks for sharing, Chris!
