Nature walks? Forest? The best waterfalls in the country? Yep, it's all right here in New Hampshire. As the weather gets warmer and we all get a little more adventurous, one of our favorite things to do is explore the outdoors. You don't have to go far - sometimes it's as simple as just walking out your front door. And, most times you don't even need to spend money. This well-known waterfall in New Hampshire is a great way to enjoy a natural wonder without having to spend an entire paycheck for the entire family. If you've been here before, share your experience with us on Facebook, If you haven't - you've got to get there this spring!
You'll find Arethusa Falls in Crawford Notch State Park in the White Mountains.
And, while not the largest falls in the state (that distinction actually goes to Dryad Fall) Arethusa sure is one of the most beautiful.
Here, Bemis Brook falls over rocks that are seemingly placed exactly where they belong to create a 140-foot wall of water.
To find it, you'll head to Hart's Location and park in the designated area off Route 302.
From here, you'll follow the Bemis Brook Trail to the Arethusa Falls Trail until you reach the falls. The hike is about a mile and a half, out and back. But, be prepared for a fairly rocky and uphill route.
The prize at the end is worth the sweat equity you'll be putting in.
Because when you look up at the rocky face of this wall, you'll realize just how lucky we are to be in the Granite State.
And, while we're excited about springtime hikes you don't need to wait for perfect weather. The falls during cold, wintry weather are a sight you'll want to see!
