Franconia Falls Details

Unlike many other waterfalls in New Hampshire, this one is not known for its size or massive drop. Instead, you will see small streams of water from the Franconia Brook flowing into many different contained pools. There are also two water slides carved from the rocks, which can you propel yourself down into a 7-foot-deep swimming hole. The pools are located at the end of a 1.1-mile trek (which is very flat and manageable for inexperienced hikers or those with kids).
