MORE WATERFALLS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE



The following is a list of additional waterfalls in New Hampshire that I haven't visited yet or I have made a visit but elected not to create a separate page for the falls for one reason or another (i.e. it was located on private property, it was unimpressive, it was a dam, etc.). If you are looking for the primary list of waterfalls in New Hampshire that I have visited and documented, visit my New Hampshire Waterfalls page.

For lists of additional waterfalls that I still need to visit and document in the other New England states, click any of these links:

When guardrail stops & road levels into a left curve, a sandy 3-4 car turnout will appear quickly on your LEFT. Park there. Alternatively, if coming from Winchester, look for long straightaway w/maple lines running on each side & turnout will be JUST after on your RIGHT. The woods road ACROSS RT 10 (ribbon tape?) will lead downhill to a small brook, cross & go left up through rock splits & a small bog. Your ear should be plenty tuned to Pauchaug below…Trail crosses Falls #1 & heads north 2/10 mile to an “island” of hemlock w/gentle brook rolling down through boulder jumbles. There’s a cave.

HOW CAN I FIND EVEN MORE WATERFALLS?

If you want to try to discover even more waterfalls, here are some research tips. I use these same tips to help find more waterfalls for this site:
  • Scan through in-circulation and out-of-print waterfall and hiking guidebooks; try to obtain copies of out-of-print books through used-book stores or websites, or by searching through the Google Books website.
  • Review this great website: World Waterfall Database
  • Scan paper and online maps for towns and cities that have a “Falls Road” or "Cascade Road".
  • Look at topo maps to see where rivers drop dramatically in elevation in a short distance. Then either (a) review that area on Google Maps (using its terrain feature) or Google Earth; or (b) go actually hike or bushwhack up and down those rivers.
  • Examine both current and historical trail maps (including those 100+ years old because many waterfalls become "lost" over time).
  • When visiting waterfalls and swimming holes, talk to the local residents and ask if they know of any others nearby.
  • Scan through social media and photography websites (e.g. Flickr) that focus on waterfalls or photography of a specific region and/or state.
  • Search Google by a town or region
    • i.e. Danvers, Massachusetts waterfall
    • i.e. waterfalls near Danvers, Massachusetts
    • i.e. waterfalls of the Berkshires
    • i.e. best waterfalls in Maine
    • i.e. swimming holes Rangeley Lake
    • i.e. top waterfalls in Rutland county
  • Search Google by a nature park
    • i.e. waterfalls of Acadia National Park
    • i.e. Baxter State Park waterfalls
    • i.e. swimming holes White Mountain National Forest
    • i.e. waterfalls Green Mountain National Forest
  • Search Google by a river, brook or stream
    • i.e. "Halfway Brook" waterfall
    • i.e. "New Haven River" cascade
    • i.e. "Nancy Brook" falls
  • Follow waterfall-related Facebook “pages” and “groups”.
  • Talk to local nature photographers and/or follow their photography or hiking blogs.
  • Find people on Facebook or hiking forums who purposely seek out off-the-beaten-path places and read about their adventures.
  • Visit an existing waterfall and hike or bushwhack both upstream and downstream of the main waterfall for more waterfalls.
  • Search for old waterfall postcards, especially at antique stores and shows.
  • Look through Delorme's Atlas & Gazetteers, looking for marked waterfalls or symbols that represent waterfalls.
  • Periodically try to revisit waterfalls that are closed to the public. While odds are good that the falls will still be off-limits to the general public, there is always a chance that the land changed hands and is now open to visitors.

Never swim in strong water currents. Don't jump into a swimming hole without scouting it first. Do not climb up or along the side of waterfalls. Be wary of slippery rocks.
