Visit Dixville Flume, New Hampshire’s Beautiful Emerald Waterfall
The Granite State has one of the most beautiful landscapes in New England. With a mix of coast, forest and incredible mountains, there’s a lot to explore no matter what type of adventure you want to have. We recommend getting out to try everything, but if you’re trying to narrow down your options consider heading out for a waterfall trip! This one, in a beautiful state park, is a great destination!
Dixville Notch State Park in Dixville is easy to find and worth spending a day visiting.
There are a number of hikes leading to the incredible views you expect to find here in New Hampshire. And, while they're not all easy, they're all worth it! But today we're not sending you on a massive hike to build up a sweat. Instead, we're giving you a great waterfall to visit.
The forest provides for lots of shade in the summer, which is a welcome relief on hot days. The forest, hikes and wildlife are worth the trip, but the Dixville Flume is one of our favorite waterfalls in the state and it's right here.
You'll find it rushing in the early spring due to snow melt and also after steady rain. But even when things are slow, it's a calming, peaceful place to think.
We love it for its color, flow and the feeling we get when visiting. It's a little bit like an oasis and while it might not be the state's largest, it's certainly one of the most beautiful!
Dixville Notch State Park is open year-round, though during the off-season (from late fall through late winter) it’s not staffed and you typically won’t find comfort stations open. We love that pets are allowed, but be sure to be courteous to fellow park goers. You can learn more about it on the New Hampshire State Parks website. If you have questions you can call the park on 603-538-6707.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
