The Native Americans called this area Salmon Falls, and the fishing here was so fine that warring tribes made an agreement that they wouldn’t fight each other within one day’s walk of the falls.

The largest known glacial pothole in the world is here, with a diameter of 39ft. -- Lonely Planet New England
