What to know about Cliff jumping at Screw Auger Falls.
Screw Auger Falls sits in Newry, Maine, United States and is described as a Grafton Notch waterfall pocket with carved rock bowls, cascade-fed pools, and short ledgy entries. The saved sources provide enough location and usage context for a planning page, but the public copy should stay careful about what is known versus what still needs local verification. Conditions can change quickly at natural-water spots. Rain, flood release, snowmelt, algae, crowding, debris, watercraft, and changing exits can make an older photo or video a poor guide for today's conditions. Before planning a jump, verify legal access, parking, current water level, landing depth, submerged hazards, footing, takeoff options, and a clean exit from the water. Walk away if depth, flow, visibility, rules, or exits cannot be checked directly.
