Base Station Road, Jefferson, NH

The highlight of this spot is certainly the pools and gorge, as opposed to the falls itself. The tallest drop here, the 8-foot plunge, is roaring in power. The falls can be tough to photograph well since the sun shines directly on it for most of the day. The best photographs here would likely be taken early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

​

Swimming is only really possible here in the lowest of water flow, and it is almost never safe to swim in the potholes near the main plunge (this is where the majority of drownings and accidents have occurred).
