About the Hike:
Located deep in Nash Stream Forest, six miles down Nash Stream Road, Pond Brook Falls is one of New Hampshire's most remote and peaceful waterfalls. While driving to them is a quite a journey, the trail to the falls is very short, wide, and easy to follow. From the parking area, head to the sign for Pond Brook Falls Trail and walk 0.1 miles down the path. Below the wide main falls, all the water from the wide slide is funneled into a curving cascade.As the trail curves to the left, continue ahead out onto the huge rock slabs over which the picturesque series of cascades and water slides forming Pond Brook Falls flows. Walk all the way to the top to take in everything.
