Embark on an easy hike along the Flume Gorge Trail, a 2.2-mile (3.6 km) loop that takes about 1 hour and 5 minutes to complete. You will gain 387 feet (118 metres) as you explore a unique granite chasm. The trail leads you through dense forest, where you can walk on boardwalks directly above rushing water within the gorge. Look out for impressive waterfalls like Avalanche Falls and the charming Pemigawasset Covered Bridge, adding to the scenic beauty of this route.
Plan your visit to the Flume Gorge Trail between May and October, as the route is typically open during these months. Be aware that the boardwalks inside the gorge can become slippery, especially after rain. Due to stairs and varied terrain, this trail is not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. Check the official park website for current operating hours and any required entry fees before you go.
This popular loop offers a unique experience through a natural granite gorge, showcasing a diverse landscape filled with natural wonders. Beyond the gorge itself, you will discover unique rock formations and lush vegetation that thrive in the forest environment. The trail provides a memorable journey into the geological features of Franconia Notch State Park.
