Gleason Falls Trail

The Gleason Falls Trail in Hillsborough, New Hampshire is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back trail that leads to a scenic stone bridge that sits above a multi-tiered waterfall known as Gleason Falls.

Walk
This is not a hike but rather a short walk to the ultra-scenic Gleason Falls. Gleason Falls was donated in 1967 by Raymond J & Rena M Hooper so everyone can enjoy it. The main trail can be found at the small parking turnout. The trail leads into the forest for ~200-feet to several viewpoints of Gleason Falls in the rocky gorge below. Gleason Falls sits below a beautiful stone bridge, which just adds to the stunning forest scenery. After exploring the waterfall, you can hike back to parking and head across the road to find a view of small cascades and the western side of the stone bridge.

Parking
Visitors will find a tiny parking turnout at the coordinates provided, located along Beard Road in Hillsborough, NH. The turnout is large enough to fit 2 vehicles as of July 2024.

Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and should be cleaned up after.

Super scenic waterfall and stone bridge. We showed up to find just one other person at the waterfall. They left shortly after and we had the waterfall all to ourselves.
