For those who love nature, New Hampshire is the place to be! From coastal walks to scaling the tallest summits, there's an activity to enjoy outside for all skill levels. Getting outside to appreciate the world around us doesn't have to mean strapping on a pair of boots. While not all 25 in the area, head to these waterfalls in New Hampshire to maximize your time exploring the state.

1. Alpine Falls, Gorham

Alpine Falls can be reached by hiking, but we love that there's also an ATV trail leading directly to the falls. The drop here is about 60 feet and, while it might be smaller than others on the list, it looks magnificent from afar. The water will be flowing between May and October, so if you love an impressive view, check it out then.

2. Dixville Flume, Dixville

To find this waterfall, make your way to Dixville Notch State Park. While not as strong or as tall as the others, Dixville Flume is actually just one part of a waterfall network that includes three other drops in a small flume.

3. 4Eagle Cascade, Beans Purchase

This waterfall is great for those who appreciate exerting a little energy to see the beauty of New Hampshire. You'll find it by hiking a 2.5-mile trail. When you see it, you'll be glad you made the effort.

4. Emerald Pool Falls, Chatham

This is a local favorite for swimming in the summer, but be prepared for some cold water. While the drop here is tiny, almost making it hard to call it a waterfall, you'll have no regrets if you visit in the summer.

5. Garfield Falls, Pittsburg

Fed by the East Branch of the Dead Diamond River, this waterfall has a 35-foot drop with shorter cascades beneath it. Continue to follow the water downstream and you'll even enjoy some rapids.

6. Giant Falls, Shelburne

One of our favorite things about this waterfall is that the view is always different. The largest drop is about 80 feet and the flow of water will be strongest just after a rain or when the snow is melting in the spring. You can find it by hiking the Peabody Brook Trail.

7. Crystal Cascade, Pinkham Notch

With a main drop that's more than 100 feet, it's hard to believe that this waterfall is often overlooked. Take the Tuckerman’s Ravine Trail to check it out.

8. Lower Ammonoosuc Falls, Carroll

This beauty is fed by the Ammonoosuc River. While it doesn't have a tremendous vertical drop, the flow over the rocks is lovely to listen to. You can find it by taking an easy-to-follow trail that's shorter than a quarter-mile.

9. Beaver Brook Falls, Colebrook

Those who prefer not to leave the car will love that you can see these falls from the parking lot. The 80-foot drop is beautiful and will remind you exactly what a waterfall should be!

10. Basin Trail Cascades, Beans Purchase

With a 20-foot drop, you might not be impressed by this waterfall after seeing some of the others. But in the summer the swimming hole beneath it is extra-fun.
