Cascading Water

There are numerous rivers and brooks that wind through New England offering all types of cascading waterfalls. The flow of them changes due to the seasons changing. After the snow thaws they tend to run full and fast, but in the summer or autumn months they can flow slowly allowing a silky look to them.

Glimpse , Arethusa Falls, 2014
This is a glimpse of Arethusa Falls as seen while climbing up to the top of the falls. Arethusa Falls is the 2nd tallest falls in NH, At one time they were calculated to be 176 Ft tall. That height has been recalculated to 140 Ft. It is Bemis Brook that creates this cascade, located in Hart's Location, of Crawford Notch in the White Mountains of NH, off Rte 302. The falls can be reached by hiking 1.5 miles up a trail which consists of tree rooted steps and crossing some wooden bridges. It is a very steep and slippery climb to reach the top of the falls.
