    What a wonderful swimming hole! We came later in the day, after 3:00 pm, which allowed us to park up near the end of the road, where the falls are. There is an old bridge, no longer in use, so approaching from the South allows us to park at the falls. From the North, you just come down from the other side, which is where much of the action is, anyway. Many cars were parked nearly 1/8 mile down the road, so we seemed to miss the busy time - something to keep in mind! The falls are beautiful to look at, and the pools refreshing (!!!) a quite cool. Nowhere near as cold as the Great Lakes or Atlantic, but will still wake you up! No facilities that we saw, so be sure to either go ahead of time or be prepared to wait. I'll not speak to what may or may not happen deeper behind the treeline.

    There really isn't much to say about this place other than if I lived here, I would be going here weekly. It's beautiful and gorgeous and easy to find and the kids went in the water. Honestly, I wish I had more to say. We are on vacation here from RI. We don't have beautiful waterfalls there because well...no real mountains. We didn't spend too much time here today because it was fairly chilly today which was unexpected for a late July day. I'd sit at the bottom of the falls and read all day and be content. Smiling faces all around.

    This is a cool little spot to have some time next to or in the water without too much of a hike. It's very close to the street so doesn't require a long walk to get in to the falls. You can walk around and try to find some different areas. We came here twice and were able to find a somewhat secluded spot the first time by walking further in. When we came back the next day, it was a weekend (and a hot day) so it was really packed and not as much fun with the crowds.

    Such a fun place. We love jumping off the cliffs. Wear good shoes. The hike down is steep.

    Beautiful scenery on a easy/moderate hike along three sets of falls. We went with foliage turning and it was fantastic.

    Anytime of the year is perfect for the rewarding view. Maybe a little tough during snow and mud…read moreseason, but still doable. Table Rock faces the Bellows Falls are from New Hampshire, just across the Connecticut River. We're in our 60s and needed to stop a few times on the way up, but it was never too steep or treacherous, just a long steady hike. You want bring good hiking shoes with serious treads. No fees. Dogs allowed.

    Phenomenal trail!! Definitely in my top 5 fave hikes - especially for the fall colors (my visit was…read morein early October)!! And it's a killer workout too! The view from the top is breathtaking- but not for the faint of heart - I have a fear of heights and it took me a while to work up the nerve to go sit on the edge lol! AllTrails has this trail labeled as "moderate" - but it was insanely muddy and very wet when I hiked it - took me ages and totally wore me out - so in those conditions I'd call it moderate-hard. And also with the rock scrambling at the top - it can be quite difficult. Very steep and especially narrow at the top - can be dangerous if you're not careful. I did a total of 2 miles round trip - it's an out and back trail. In those 2 miles, my tracker showed an 800 foot elevation gain so it's definitely a butt burner. And along the trail there are numerous areas of rock scrambling (some are very steep) and stream crossings during the wet season - get ready to be covered in mud lol! You will definitely need decent hiking shoes - and poles would've been so helpful I think! There were quite a few other hikers around. The trails are very well marked with colorful tree badges - but in some spots between the markers, I needed my trail map bc the ground was covered in leaves and mud and it wasn't as obvious. Once you get to the top of Table Rock, the stunning view will absolutely take your breath away! It's a sweeping vista of the entire forest area with the lake and resort below to the left and the long stretch of road through the park to the right - perfect for taking in all the colorful autumn splendor!! The top is a long, very narrow and flat tableau. It seems pretty stable - but has extremely steep (and deadly!) drop offs either side and no safety rails or fencing or anything so be aware. Drones aren't allowed in the park (according to the State Park website) but someone was flying one and buzzing us closely at the top which made it very distracting and scary unfortunately. Dogs are allowed - there were many on the trail and at the top. Parking is a small dirt lot pull out on the side of the road at the trailhead - Google maps took me right to it (just put in Table Rock Trailhead). It's located in Dixville Notch State Park (you can see my review of that for more detailed info). The park doesn't have bathrooms that I could find. And I think it's free. I didn't see any fee areas and their website doesn't list it as a fee area.
