Embark on an easy hike along the Arethusa Falls and Bemis Brook Trail, a short 1.3 miles (2.1 km) route that takes about 38 minutes to complete. You will experience no elevation gain, making it a very accessible walk for nearly everyone. The path follows a beautiful stream through classic White Mountain terrain, featuring rocky and rooted sections. As you go, you'll pass several smaller cascades like Fawn Pool, Bemis Falls, and Coliseum Falls, leading up to the impressive Arethusa Falls.
This trail is located within Crawford Notch State Park, where a parking fee or donation might be requested upon your arrival. It's wise to check current trail conditions before heading out, especially during spring and fall. Be aware that residual snow can linger at higher elevations even into May, and you might encounter wet or muddy conditions, particularly after rain or during the spring thaw.
The Arethusa Falls and Bemis Brook Trail offers a quick and refreshing way to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the area. Beyond the main falls, the Bemis Brook section provides a scenic walk past multiple smaller cascades, enhancing the experience. In autumn, the surrounding forest transforms with vibrant fall foliage, adding another layer of charm to this popular White Mountain destination.
