Diana's Baths

Diana's Baths is a waterfall in White Mountain National Forest where Lucy Brook cascades over granite ledges, creating multiple drops and natural swimming pools. The water flows through a series of formations that visitors encounter as they walk deeper into the site.

George Lucy built a water-powered sawmill near the falls in the 1860s, harnessing the stream's energy for his business. The operation later grew to include facilities for tourists who came to see the natural site.

The name comes from Roman mythology, honoring Diana, the goddess of nature and hunting. This choice reflects how people have long connected these waters with wild, untamed places.

The site is reached by a flat gravel trail from the parking area that takes about thirty minutes to walk. The path is easy to follow and leads directly to the water features where you can explore the pools and falls.

Hidden among the boulders and pools are remnants of the old sawmill operation, including concrete dam pieces and metal gears from the machinery. These artifacts show how industry once thrived right where people now come to swim.
