| This secluded cascade, known as the Dixville Notch Flume, is just across the divide from which all water flows to the west and south to Long Island Sound or to the east and south to the Gulf of Maine. The water in the flume is going through a square-walled gorge formed beginning about 13,000 years ago, when the last glacier finished its bulldozing and water began wearing away a softer rock that intruded into the granite. That tiny brook tumbles into Clear Stream, which flows east to the Androscoggin River and down through western Maine to the Atlantic Ocean. | |
