Secluded Arethusa Falls is one of the most beautiful and also the highest waterfall in New Hampshire. Bemis Brook tumbles 200 feet down from the falls into an exquisite pool. Most hikers visit the falls by taking Arethusa Falls Trail directly. If you’re looking for an alternative route that showcases even more waterfalls, cascades, and pools, check out Bemis Brook Trail, which runs parallel to the main route. This trail provides an alternate but rougher hike right alongside the brook.
