Hadlock Brook, in Acadia National Park, is a small watershed that was monitored by the USGS from 1999 to 2006. The Hadlock Falls is a popular spot for a break on one of the many scenic trails through the park. The USGS gaging station was approximately 100 ft above the falls.

In February 2005 a visit to a USGS station on Libby Brook near Northfield, Maine revealed a gap between the water level and a layer of ice above. Cold temperatures after a rain event caused the ice layer to form and as water levels dropped the ice layer remained.
