Lincoln, New Hampshire
The climactic ~45-foot drop inside The Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park; ticketed boardwalk loop.
At a glance
Overview
Avalanche Falls is the climactic drop inside The Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park. It is reached as part of the paid Flume Gorge loop - a boardwalk-and-stairs walk that enters the narrow granite gorge and ends at the falls. Treat this as a ticketed scenic loop inside a state park, not a free roadside waterfall. Seasonal: the gorge closes late fall to late spring.
