As you are driving along NH 145 past the center of the town in Colebrook, you will travel up and down gently rolling hills, although nothing of significant elevation change. The land is nearly flat and it is difficult to imagine that a waterfall over 80 feet in height could be located here. Just as you come around a bend in the road, you look to your right and you are instantly mesmerized by the sheer size of the dribbling horsetails at Beaver Brook Falls. Also surprising is the number of visitors to a waterfall located in northern New Hampshire, well past the White Mountain National Forest region and within close range of the Canadian border. The area is popular enough that the state has declared it as an official “Scenic Area” and has thus equipped the park with several covered picnic tables and bathrooms.

To view this waterfall, you have the option of sitting in your car, relaxing at the picnic tables, or taking a short gravel trail closer to the falls. The short gravel trail brings you to a tilted head view at the base of the falls. There are steep, loose dirt trails that climb the falls on both sides, but this is very dangerous and is therefore discouraged.

Directions for this particular waterfall are not posted online. Please see directions in our published guidebook, New England Waterfalls: A Guide to More Than 400 Cascades And Waterfalls, or you can email us and we will happily provide them to you.
