Baby Flume in Autumn

Dixville Notch, another stop on the Moose Path Trail, is the northernmost mountain pass in New Hampshire. From an elevation of 1500 feet, the most apparent Notch rises nearly another 400 feet to its high point. Sheer cliffs mark the edges of the Notch and Route 26, and are most spectacular in the autumn season when the mountainsides are filled with colorful foliage. Just to the south of the pass, two roadside picnic areas offer a pleasant roadside park to enjoy Dixville Notch scenery and two picturesque waterfall settings. To the southwest is the Cascade Brook Picnic Area and Huntington Falls. To the northeast is the Baby Flume Picnic Area. Pictured here is Baby Flume, a miniature gorge and fast flowing creek. These two roadside park areas encompass 137 acres and make up the Dixville Notch State Park.
