Park in the signed parking lot, and follow the yellow marked trail up to the fall. This is a really fun hike that runs along a slope of waterfalls. The water is a beautiful clear green, flowing down multiple slides and pools. The views from the top are gorgeous. There aren’t many deep pools, but […]
The parking area for Screw Auger Falls is off of Route 26, and is well-marked and easy to find. The lot isn’t huge, and this is a popular location, so you might want to come early on the weekends. The falls are beside the parking area. This is beautiful waterfall, with interesting rock formations. […]
This park offers lake swimming with a sand beach with clear cold water, and stunning mountain views. There is a large grass area for picnicking which has stone steps leading to the water, and a pretty swing bench to take in the view. There also seem to be canoe and peddle boat rentals. Dogs are […]
This park was an unexpected surprise, and it is pretty awesome. It must have been a summer camp previously, as there are scattered buildings with signs like “Main Lodge.” There are tennis courts, soccer fields, and a huge swimming dock. When we were there the swimming area seemed to have unfettered access, but this may […]
UPDATE- according to this website swimming is now prohibited here and strictly enforced https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whitemountain/recarea/?recid=74967 This is a beautiful area, but should now be considered a “See” location.
Park in the Otter Rocks lot with the White Mountain National Forest Sign, and then walk down to the river. There is a small cascade with a few little pools that children could play in, as they are very shallow. This leads into a bigger pool which is maybe 4 ft. deep. There are large flat […]
This is a very popular rest stop swimming area, and it will likely be crowded, so it is a good idea to arrive early. We were here at 1pm on a Monday and cars were lining the road. There is a large parking area and a sign for “Lower Falls,” and we thought it was […]
This park is off of Route 25 and you’ll see a wooden sign marked “Rest Area” just before the town line of Standish. It is more extensive than most rest areas, with picnic spots in the woods, and a wooden bridge leading to a rock “island” on the Saco River. This is listed elsewhere as […]
This is sort of a strange location because you are allowed to be here, and the town of Lincoln grants access, but the entrance is within the Riverfront Condominium complex. So when you are in the complex, you’ll see a lot of “No Trespassing” and “Private Property” signs, but if you use the entrance on […]
Look for the “White Mountain State Forest” sign for “Hancock Campground,” and park in the lot. Walk to site #47 and follow the small sign that says “River.” Follow the trail for about 2 min. to a small embankment with a very short, steep hop down to the river. There is a beautiful fall flowing […]
