Few People Know There’s A Mystical Swimming Hole Hidden Along The Baldface Circle Trail In New Hampshire
There’s nothing more fantastic than exploring the great outdoors in New Hampshire. From the beloved and well-known trails we’ve been doing for years to the ones that offer quiet and solitude, there’s always a way to escape. We especially love the areas that feel like something extra-special, not findable in any other state. This swimming hole on a hiking trail in New Hampshire offers just that!
Emerald Pool can be found by hiking the Baldface Circle Trail near Chatham.
While the full trail will take you to the some incredible views, the route is much longer. We recommend sticking just to the Emerald Pool before turning around to come back. This ensures a simple day along with a great way to cool down in the summer.
The trail is well-marked, but be sure to keep an eye out for rocks. As you get closer to the pool you may see more people. That's unavoidable in the summer, but the time spent here will still be lovely.
Whenever you visit you're in for a treat, so make plans to check it out as soon as you can.
Emerald Pool off the Baldface Circle Trail can be accessed year-round, but is best during the warmer months if you’d like to take a dip in the water. The 1.6-mile, out-and-back trail takes under an hour to complete, not including time spent in the water.
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.
