About This Resource
The Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park, New Hampshire features an elaborate system of stairs and boardwalks threading through a dramatic natural gorge. The gorge walls rise 70-90 feet with the width narrowing to just 12 feet at the base. Wooden stairs and walkways allow visitors to walk through the gorge beside cascading waterfalls and moss-covered granite walls. The infrastructure represents careful engineering that provides public access while protecting the natural environment. The stairs and boardwalks climb and descend through the gorge, offering intimate views of this geological wonder. It's one of New Hampshire's most popular natural attractions.
