Updates since the 2nd Edition of New England Waterfalls

Here are the most critical updates to waterfalls that were included within the 2nd edition of of book, New England Waterfalls: A Guide to 400 Cascades & Waterfalls. The 2nd edition of our book was published in 2010 and was based on visits we made to these waterfalls throughout 2009. Since this a few years ago, some things have changed at a few of the waterfalls in that book.

Not all changes that have occurred have been discovered by us already. Unfortunately, there are likely to be omissions to the list below due to the wide-spread damage caused by Hurrican Irene. The hurricane washed out many bridges and annihilated dozens of important dirt roads, mostly in Vermont and New Hampshire, Please let us know immediately if you are aware of any waterfalls we have in our book that have changed or are currently closed due to damage.

HELP WANTED!
If you are aware of any other errors in our guidebook, please email us so that we can make corrections on this page for all to see.

*State*	*Waterfall Name*	*Update Type*	*Notes*
CT	Nonnewaug Falls	Hiking Trail	One reader emailed to say that the hiking trail network has slightly changed, although we cannot give the exact nature of the change at this point. Be prepared to make your own decisions at any new trail junctions.
MA	Pitcher Falls	Access	It turns out that the AMC does NOT own the trails surrounding Pitcher Falls . The landowner emailed me in mid-July 2011 and let me know that only AMC members are welcome on his property. The general public is NOT welcome to swim at or view the falls. Please respect the landowners wishes and stay away from this one before all access is completely lost.
NH	Agassiz Basin	Hiking Trail	Swimming is not allowed at the falls. In addition, the last remaining bridge across the stream here was damaged during the winter of 2010/2011 and later removed. As of 7/15/2011, there is no bridge across the river. However, the falls can still be seen in full from near the parking area.
ME	Little Wilson Falls	Access	On 1-19-2012, we received an email from a website visitor stating that the road to Little Wilson Falls had been gated off and that a court battle over ownership of the road was in process. Until we receive any more updates, I'd avoid going to this waterfall!

NH	Bricket Falls	Driving Directions	The trailhead is about 18 miles north of the NH 113/US 302 junction in Fryeburg, not the 13 miles we stated in the guidebook. Sorry for the error!
NH	Eagle Cascade	At-A-Glance Info	The best time to visit this waterfall is May to June, and not May to October as stated in the guidebook. This waterfall is much more seasonal than expected.
NH	Falls on the Basin Cascades Trail	Hiking Trail	Although this does not affect any of the waterfalls themselves, the bridge above the uppermost falls on this trail ( Rocky Glen Falls ) was damaged. Do not use this trail to visit Lonesome Lake as it would be difficult or potentially dangerous to cross the river without the bridge in place. Refer to the White Mountain National Forest website to see if the bridge has been fixed: http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/white/
NH	Garfield Falls	Driving Directions	We have heard rumors that the dirt road to the trailhead was damaged by Hurricane Irene and has a "washout". One reader reports that you will have to [park and walk the final 0.25 mile to the trailhead. There is "plenty of room to park and walk the last bit".
VT	Texas Falls	Driving Directions	The falls were severly damaged by Hurricane Irene and the entire area is currently closed. Avoid this waterfall through at least the first half of 2012. It could take 1-2 or more years to fix this one. You may want to contact the USFS if you'd like to find out when the trail is expected to be re-opened: 1-802-747-6700
