➤️ Third Falls

The Third Falls are the third of four waterfalls in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. They are located on the Royal River, approximately 2.8 miles (4.5 km) from its mouth with inner Casco Bay at Yarmouth Harbor, and approximately 0.4 miles (0.64 km) upstream of the Second Falls. The river appealed to settlers because its 45-foot rise in close proximity to navigable water each provided potential waterpower sites. As such, each of the four falls was used to power 57 mills between 1674 and the mid-20th century.
