Waterfalls, I just cannot say how much I love them. I usually love them just in the summer, but the last couple winters I have really found a new love for frozen waterfalls. The different formations they take with the change in weather and the beauty of the water rushing below the ice. I recently watch a video on Facebook with Live Free with Kris where she visited four waterfalls in the Wilton/Lynborough Area. I had visited three of them, Purgatory Falls, Tucker Brooks Falls and Garwin Falls. I had not been too or heard of Senter Falls, of course I had to check it out.
Located on Lyndeborough Road in Lyndeborough NH is the trailhead. The best way to get to the trail head is from Second NH Turnpike near the Francestown town line. Lyndeborough Road is a dirt road. The road is not maintained in the winter. Please plan accordingly. The trailhead is about a half mile in on the right hand side. There is a trailhead sign that says Alan and Edgar Rice Nature Area. There was not much of a parking area. There was only enough room across from the trailhead for one car.
The trail starts out by going down a small incline and over a nice wooden bridge.
After you cross the bridge and bare to the left you will see that you have the option to go right or left, both marked by blue trail markers. I recommend going right for the best views of the falls. This is a loop trail. Within just a couple minutes you come to the first set of falls.
Then you climb up along the waterfall for about a quarter of a mile for some great views.
With the final cascade being the best off all.
When you get to the top of the waterfall the trail goes left up a incline, then you follow a ridge and then have a steep descent connecting you back to where you started.
Of course there was a little time to play on the ice on the side of the trail.
The trail is a little less than three quarters of a mile. I would only recommend it in the winter if you have some form of microspikes.
We have been back in the spring time and the falls were just a beautiful.
While you are in the area make sure you check out Frog Rock.
