There are places in New Hampshire we’ve all seen. The larger waterfalls, the photographed covered bridges and great restaurants. But there are some lesser-known spots that are also worth finding. These are the spots hidden away mostly known by those who live within walking distance. While there might be people who’d prefer to keep these places secret, we believe that everyone deserves to experience the nature of this beautiful state. This lesser-known waterfall is a great example. Hop in the car, take the path less traveled and you’ll be there!
Wildcat Mountain might be best known for skiing. Or, maybe you love it for disk golf, gondola rides and other summer fun. All of that is great, but what we love most about it is the hidden attraction accessible from the parking lot.
But first you'll need to get there. From the Wildcat Mountain parking lot take the Way of the Wildcat Trail which is a half-mile loop. At the end of the loop, can continue for another half mile and you'll reach the falls.
If you visit in the spring, you're likely to find the falls heavy with winter snow runoff. And in the summer you should definitely bring a bathing suit to jump in. But, remember that the water is absolutely freezing!
