Fall Back Who knew a…read morerest area could be a "must-stop" if one ever finds themselves on a roadie to Rangeley, but yet here we are. Rest areas are usually for stretching, picnicking, and pooping (not necessarily in that order fwiw), and while this place certainly allows for all of the above, it's the nature that makes this a top-notch hiking spot, as well. The Good: *Several pit toilets (don't look down) *Picnic tables *Parking lot isn't huge but it's ample enough. *Series of small cascading water falls with trails along the edges and access to the water. I'm honestly not sure how far back the trails go, but by the time I got to the top it looked like you could keep going for a bit. *Great spot for leaf-peeping The Meh: *The road around the lot is gravely, so don't drive too fast or you'll kick up rocks. The Ugly: *Those pit toilets are...0_o *Yelp Mods who can't read a map to save their lives. I've already had them adjust the pin on here several times and they never get it right--there's LITERALLY A PIN on the map that says "Small Falls Rest Area" and they just stick it in arbitrary places. I'm pretty sure they're fucking with me at this point. 0_o Conclusion: If you find yourself in Rangeley Maine or thereabouts, then be sure to add this place to your list of things to see.

I definitely use to frequent this rest area/service plaza more when living in central Maine. A trip…read moreback home from Bar Harbor and needing a bathroom stop this did the trick. Food/drink wise they have Dunkin and Popeyes with both charging more than your average location. Along with those you'll find a market with road trip essentials at elevated prices as well. They've been talking that the service plazas in Maine are suppose to get upgraded and will see better food options so we shall see where that goes. Rumor has been potential first Shake Shacks in Maine. The biggest knock I would give this particular rest area/service plaza compared to the others in Southern Maine would be the fact you have to leave the highway system. It tacks on extra time that adds an extra level of annoyance. The place in general was clean including the bathrooms but could use an updating in my opinion. While the sinks are touch-less both the soap and paper towel dispensers were not. That seems like a pretty common standard but not here. I've been to worse rest stops but this could be significantly better as well.

Listen, compared to other Cumberland Farms in Portland, this one's great…read more.. 1. It's one of the Cumby's that got entirely renovated (and because of the way it's set back and has a washed out color palette, it doesn't seem to be an eyesore in what's an established, historical, family-oriented neighborhood... I also know it's in a safe area where folks can easily walk to it at night with no worries). 2. It's got plenty of parking. 3. It's got plenty of gas pumps. The biggest problem here I think is it's diagonal location offering four separate entrance/exits. Because of this, people are constantly whipping in and out of here - usually with no blinkers or any regard for the heavy traffic on both Brighton and Woodford. There are times I've wanted to stop here to gas up, but have chosen to wait until whatever gas station was next in my travels because I was genuinely nervous about getting rear-ended or smashed into by the people using Cumby's as a through-street.
