WATERFALLS
Along scenic roadways, tucked away on a back woods road, or a short hike into
the forest, you will find beautiful waterfalls and cascades. These natural wonders are
scattered throughout the North Country and provide a great place to relax
and explore.
BEAVER BROOK FALLS: A magnificent waterfall located in Colebrook.
Especially beautiful in the fall with crimson leaves surrounding it, it’s a nice place to
dip your toes in the water, have a picnic and if you’d like, hike to the top. It’s even
located right on the ATV trails for folks to stop at on their travels! From Colebrook,
NH, go north on Rte 145 for 2.4 miles. The falls will be on the right hand side of the
road with ample parking.
GARFIELD FALLS: The falls are on the east branch of Dead Diamond River very
near the Maine Border. Nature has made a magnificent, beautiful spot for fishermen
and swimmers alike. Located on Rte 3 in Pittsburg, go north beyond First Connecticut
Lake until reaching Magalloway Road. Go 12 miles from Rte 3, look for the sign on a
path that says Garfield Falls, then go about ¼ mile down that path.
THE HUNTINGTON CASCADES: Located approximately
10 miles east on Rte 26 from the junction of Routes 26 and 3
on Main Street in Colebrook. Watch for the parking lot on the

Follow the woods road which turns off the highway to the
right, pass through the picnic grove and look for the path
leading from the opposite side to the bridge at the foot of
the cascades. A trail follows the brook to a series of beautiful
cascades extending nearly a mile.
