Before you go

  • Use the parking pin as the arrival point and confirm the public trail on site.
  • Treat this as a waterfall stop first, not a guaranteed swim stop.
  • Mountain brook ledges can stay slick even after dry weather.
  • Leave Crawford Notch trailhead circulation clear for others.
  • Destination pin is a conservative on-trail estimate based on official Crawford Notch waterfall guidance.
