Upper Ammonoosuc Falls Details
Swimmers should take caution when choosing to venture into the pools of this powerful waterfall. Although the 8-foot drop may not seem dangerous at first glance, it has an extremely strong current that has taken many lives over the course of the last few decades. But while the area directly under the falls should be avoided, it is still possible to swim further downstream where the water is calmer. You can also head to the Lower and Middle falls nearby if you are looking for a more friendly place to swim.
