The Covered Bridge in Littleton NH…read more There are many covered bridges throughout the State of New Hampshire, this one in the town of Littleton, at the edge of the White Mountains. The Riverwalk Covered Bridge wasn't visible from the main road but is located behind Main Street. I believe the building next to it is the Schilling Beer Co, the one with a cool waterfall behind its 18th century grist mill building on the river. We parked behind the shops and walked down towards the historic sign. We were able to see some great views of the river as we walked across the covered bridge. The bridge is long and beautiful. We were impressed in how large the bridge was. At the other end of the bridge is a Farmers Market building. Very pleasant walk... we then made our way on foot to check out Main Street. Review #3042

Our family took our miniature poodle for a scenic walk along the Swift River, crossed a pedestrian bridge (for superb photos), and walked a short way to Falls Pond (which had many frogs & tadpoles, but few people). If you're looking for a less crowded alternative to Lower Falls, this is a great stop. Many families were bathing in the water among the rocks. But the pathway beyond the pedestrian bridge had very few people. Would highly recommend this stop in summer if you're driving along the scenic highway and just want to stretch your legs for 30 minutes.

Overall, worth a stop!

This is about a 0.3 mi walk through the forest by Sabbaday brook. The path is fairly developed and fairly flat with some slight but minimal elevation gain. You have gorgeous views of the brook and fall foliage while you walk. You can continue walking if you want to just continue walking along the brook, or turn and check out Sabbaday Falls. At the falls there is a nice platform / stair which allows you to climb up and take a closer look at the falls. There is a small parking lot and it seems like when it's full, people just park on the shoulder. In addition there is also an outhouse, but no running water. Great little hike along the Kanc!

I feel the need to preface all of my nature reviews with this: being 90% forested and having around…read more3500 miles of coastline, Maine (and NH) has a tremendous amount of spaces, walkways, paths, and trails of all kinds and of all levels. There's something for everyone. What I'm reviewing is how a spot compares to similar outdoor spots in my personal opinion. Being in nature - and remembering to carry in, carry out - is always five stars! :) Parking? Yes. Loop trail? No. Well marked signs? No. Element of surprise? Yes. I didn't realize until recently that Steep Falls was more than just the name of a town (or bridge) in Maine. I mean, I knew it was named after the falls it surrounds, but I guess I didn't realize you could access those falls for a nature walk! We first came during late autumn. There's a small parking lot, but you want to walk across Main St/Route 11 (before the bridge) to the other side because there's nothing actually adjacent to the parking lot itself. There are pretty obvious trails from here, but nothing is marked. Just follow the water itself (except for one spot, which you'll have to veer away from the water, into the woods, over a much smaller bridge [meant for snowmobiles? ATVs?] over Tucker Brook [I think?] then back down to the water). The fun fact about this spot is that, while it's nearly 75 feet across apparently it's only a six food drop, but still manages to be one of the top volume waterfalls in the entire state (with the water flowing steadily and strongly all year round). From what I've heard from locals, this is a spot to party at during the summer (even when we came we saw remnants of fire pits on the beach before the falls). Just sitting on the rocks so close to the falls was pretty stunning; it's loud, it's splashy, and it feels entirely remote as this part of Saco River is surrounded by tall evergreens!

This rest stop and scenic overlook (at almost the highest elevation on the Kanc) has some stunning panoramic views of the Presidential Range along with the Swift River. Like the other overlooks, there's plenty of parking (even moreso than the others - there's plenty of parking for buses and RV's... which you should take as a sign of the extreme popularity of this place during leaf-peeping season and plan accordingly), a pavilion/gazebo area with information about the land and the history of the area, plenty of benches, and lots of areas to walk your self (or your pup).
