Before you go

  • Merged identity (1 source rows) || Just south of Grafton Notch State Park is Step Falls Preserve.
  • None of the pools here are very deep, however, there are plenty of natural waterslides, wide pools for swimming.
  • It is a bit of a hike to get to the better pools it not a good place to bring small children.
