Located in Hinsdale, New Hampshire on the Vermont boarder is a hidden gem of a waterfall. The waterfall is located in the Wantastiquet State Natural Area. From 119 in Hinsdale take a right onto Mountain Road right before you cross the bridge into Vermont. The parking lot is at the end of Mountain Road. From the parking lot you can hear and sometimes see the waterfall. You walk a few feet up the trail with the gate on it. Once you are standing on a bridge/culvert look to your right and you can see the waterfall.
My guess is that this waterfall does dry up when there is not a lot of rain. You can walk up a small trail to the base of the waterfall, but use caution as there are a lot of loose rocks and it is pretty steep.
If it was warmer I would have loved to stick my head under this.
I would not travel just to see this waterfall as there is a chance it is not flowing, but if you are in the area it is worth the stop. There is no hike to this waterfall, but if you are looking for a hike I would recommend continuing the two miles to the top of Wantastiquet Mountain. It was towards the end of the afternoon when we visited so we did not hike the mountain, but after exploring about the mountain it looks like it would be a good hike up a series of switchbacks with views of the area. This trail also connects to the trails at Madame Sherri Forest.
