Exploring New Hampshire’s waterfalls is one of the best ways to remember just why we’re so lucky to spend time here! Tall and flowing or part of a larger river system, there are lots of different falls to enjoy, and finding them is all part of the fun. But, a long hike isn’t always something we have the time (or ambition!) to tackle and it’s sometimes tiresome to keep googling “waterfalls near me.” That’s why we love that there are waterfalls here that are so easy to access, all you need is a car and a place to park. Like Pollard’s Mill Falls!
