The One Waterfall In New Hampshire Where You Can Drive Right Up To The Water
New Hampshire offers some of the best views and outdoor activities in New England. We can all agree on that! But, while we’re always grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the landscape here we’re not always looking for a serious hike. That’s why we love that this gorgeous waterfall can be taken in just by driving into the parking lot.
If you love the idea of exploring New Hampshire's best waterfalls without a ton of effort, make your way to Beaver Brook Falls Wayside just off of Route 145 in Colebrook.
Once you've parked, make your way to the green space where you'll find a few benches and picnic tables right in front of the waterfall. This is perfect for a quick stop. And if you don't want to get out of your car you're in luck, because the view is perfect right from here.
The falls drop an impressive 80 feet, which makes the fact that you don't need to hike to the base to take it in even more impressive. Visits in the spring and the fall are likely to be roaring with the winter snow melt. Make your way there in the winter and the surroundings will be beautiful but more subdued.
Beaver Brook Falls is accessible year-round, but during the off-season, it’s not always staffed. If you choose to make your trip during an off-season time, be sure to take some extra caution during your visit as conditions can be slippery if you choose to walk to the falls from your car.
