Lover's Leap Falls

The name comes from a local legend about two lovers — a beautiful young Penobscot girl and a white settler, as the sign at the observation deck states — who were forbidden to be together.
Unable to bear the burden of a life without each other, they leapt to their deaths, sometime in the distant past.

through deep tea country
You begin this stage at the Watagoda Train station, which continues past highland lakes and towards a wonderful banyan tree with an idyllic little stream running beside it. Your journey then stretches onto classic tea trails towards the Holyrood Estate. While walking, keep an eye out for a sign at a warehouse that reads “did you hug a tree today”.
