ME	Coos Canyon		limited views from roadside, so may not be worth your time
ME	Frenchmen's Hole		limited views from roadside
ME	Little Wilson Falls (Lower Falls)		limited views of lower portion of falls from roadside, so may not be worth your time

ME	Snow Falls		limited views from roadside, so may not be worth your time
ME	The Falls		limited views from roadside, so may not be worth your time
NH	Beaver Brook Falls (Colebrook)		fully and easily viewable from roadside and parking area
NH	Beaver Brook Falls (Keene)		0.6 mile road walk to view falls; limited views, depending on vegetation and time of year
NH	Diana's Baths		0.6 mile walk on hard dirt path, but there are no roots/rocks along path; accessible views only of lowest falls, which aren't as impressive as upper falls
NH	Fall of Song		0.1 mile walk on dirt path, which some handicap visitors may find challenging
NH	Flume Cascade		lower portion of falls are viewable from roadside but aren't all that impressive
NH	Lower Falls (Albany)		fully viewable from roadside
NH	Lower Ammonoosuc Falls		0.25 mile trail on flat and hard dirt road; road is typically in decent condition, but may be difficult for some visitors
NH	Rocky Gorge		0.1 mile walk on a partially paved path; Hurricane Irene heavily damaged the original paved path in 2011; a short dirt path now bypasses the damaged pavement, but it is prone to heavy mud, so visit this one at your own risk
NH	Sabbaday Falls		0.3 mile walk on hard dirt road; some difficult inclines involved, but there are no roots/rocks along path; may be challenging for some handicap visitors; Hurricane Irene may have damaged the path though, so visit this one at your own risk as the potential for terrain that is too difficult may exist
NH	Silver Cascade		fully viewable from roadside and parking area
VT	Marshfield Falls		both the upper and lower falls are fully viewable from roadside
VT	Moss Glen Falls (Granville)		fully viewable from roadside, but there is also a 0.1 mile boardwalk trail that stems from parking area
VT	Thundering Brook Falls		0.1 mile walk on boardwalk trail that I am reasonably confident is accessible; however, I am not 100% positive on this one being handicap accessible; visit at your own risk; access via River Rd.
