Series of small waterfalls located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire
General Information
How to Get There
Overview
Diana's Baths is a series of small waterfalls located in the southeastern corner of the town of Bartlett, New Hampshire, near the village of North Conway in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The historic site is within the White Mountain National Forest. The stream that flows into this waterfall is called Lucy Brook. The waterfalls were once the location of an old sawmill operation in the 1800s. After the sawmill was abandoned by the Lucy family in the 1940s, it was turned into a historic site that would be protected by the U.S. Forest Service. The total drop of the waterfalls is 75 feet (23 m), and the hike to the base of the waterfall is about 0.6 miles (1.0 km). Diana's Baths is now a popular family destination.
The intensity of the stream is related to the season; the stream flow is most intense in the springtime because of runoff from the winter snowmelt.
Diana's Baths are located off West Side Road 0.5 miles (0.80 km) north of the turn to Cathedral Ledge outside of North Conway. The short and mild hike to the base of the waterfall is about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) from the head of the trail. Past Diana's Baths, the Moat Mountain Trail continues to the summit of North Moat Mountain.
