Head to These Waterfalls in New Hampshire
The waterfalls in New Hampshire cover a wide array of stunning features—from towering cascades deep in the forest to short jaunts off a major roadway. Rivers and streams crisscross the state over mountains and valleys, resulting in more waterfalls in New Hampshire that could be discovered in one trip.
Thankfully, many of these waterfalls are located less than an hour’s drive from our lakefront bed and breakfast, while others are a bit farther up in the beautiful White Mountain National Forest. During your stay, it’s a fun day trip idea to head out and catch sight of a few of these natural wonders. Here are eight waterfalls in New Hampshire worth the drive:
- Rainbow Falls: The Walter-Newton Natural Area is about 30 minutes from our lakefront bed and breakfast. It’s the park’s main attraction and is reached by a mile-long hike in the scenic woods.
- Falls of Song: Located at the dreamy Castle in the Clouds nature area and estate, there are many waterfalls in New Hampshire along the hiking trails here. But the star of the show is Falls of Song, a 40-foot plunge only a quick walk from the Auto Road.
- Beede Falls: Just under an hour from our lakefront bed and breakfast, this is a popular destination in the summer. Water from the Bearcamp River slides down a long sloped rock with a slight drop at the end and a large pool underneath.
- Avalanche Falls: Located at the ever-popular Franconia Notch State Park and just under an hour from our Inn is one of the most beautiful examples of these cascading natural wonders. Head on the Flume Gorge Trail, a two-mile loop trail that takes about an hour and a half to complete.
- Welton Falls: This four-mile hike is considered moderate to challenging to the falls. Avid hikers say it’s worth the trek and a beautiful trek through the woods.
- Sabbaday Falls: This is one of the most well-known waterfalls in New Hampshire. It’s located on the Kancamagus Highway and drops an impressive 45 feet.
- Arethusa Falls: Though it’s about an hour and a half to this hike from our Inn, there’s a challenging trail that pays off big time with a stunning example of a waterfall cascading over granite cliffs.
- Ripley Falls: This picturesque 100-foot wall of water flows over a smooth rock face at Crawford Notch State Park, about an hour from our lakefront bed and breakfast.
