I love a good waterfall and I love when I can find one in Southern New Hampshire. I am excited to add another one to my list. Gleason Falls is located on Beard Road in Hillsborough, NH. From West Main Street it is about 2.5 miles. The falls is right off the side of the dirt section of the road. There is a small area for parking and a sign marking the falls.
On the upstream part of the bridge you can see the start of the waterfall and a view of the beautiful stone bridge.
Downstream of the bridge is a small foot path to the stunning view of the waterfall.
There was a small pool at the bottom that I wonder if it could be a swimming hole.
About a mile back down the road, heading towards town, is a small picnic area. We spent about an hour playing around the pond and soaking up the sun. This was a perfect spot to spend time enjoying nature.
If you are in the Hillsborough area this waterfall and picnic area are worth checking out.
