Rocky Gorge Scenic Area

Sure, you can see a nice waterfall here, but that's not the main attraction. This is one of the BEST places to dip yourself in a river for a short swim! It's a much more intimate experience than the nearby and often overcrowded Lower Falls. We visited in Aug 2025 and enjoyed it a lot. Parking lot at the site ($5). Strongly recommended!

We stopped here on our leaf peeping road trip. Beautiful falls and view of river. Short walk to a pretty pond. Not too busy. Out houses. Parking fee. Very pretty.

Nice area to stop if you are driving on the Kanc (Kangamagus Highway) there are bathrooms available and there is a trail down to the falls and river that is handicap accessible. The river is a one minute walk from the parking area. The walk way I think is paved to the bridge if not it’s smooth for a wheel chair. On the other side of the bridge it’s dirt. There’s a trail around the pond as well.

I absolutely LOVE this place! In spite of a full parking lot ( saw when we were leaving), I didn't realize how many people were actually there. I've gone here for years. Found a great spot to leave towels coolers, etc that had shade and the most wonderful breeze. The pools are deep or not depending on where you stand. Lots of waterfalls to sit in, yes sit in while the water massages your shoulders and back. It's a little bit oh heaven. Oh, if you enter the Kanc Hwy from the Conway side, stop in the ranger station to get your parking pass for $5, no lines here like we saw at the Gorge. It's good for multiple sites along the Kanc. Enjoy the cool water & have lots of fun!

The drive to rocky gorge was scenic and generally NH is scenic, though there was no WOW factor at this place. Small tracks with nothing much to do … make sure to carry $5 cash for parking.. you have to put the money in an envelope and write down the car details on that.

Very pretty. Easy walking. Or be more adventurous and hike 3.5 miles

Beautiful scenic spot. Just a few steps walk and there is a bridge you can stand on to watch the falls and also you can go on to rocks to watch falls very closely. No wait time. Restrooms available at parking lot.Make sure you have pass on your car dash . You can also buy at any scenic spot $5 day fee and can be used at most of all the scenic spots on kancamagus highway

A unique geographical feature with multiple cascading waterfalls. There is a small hidden lake behind: cross the bridge, take the short path and you will be presented with a serene looking lake, that’s peaceful. See the video. Parking is nearby and ample. Highly recommended!
