Franconia Notch, Mountain pass in Grafton County, United States
Franconia Notch extends through the White Mountain National Forest between towering cliffs, connecting Flume Gorge with Echo Lake at 1,931 feet elevation.
In 1805, surveyors discovered a natural rock formation on Cannon Mountain that became New Hampshire's state symbol until its collapse in 2003.
The New England Ski Museum within the park presents exhibits about regional winter sports and documents achievements of New Hampshire Olympic athletes.
Visitors access the park through Interstate 93, with Lafayette Place Campground offering 97 tent sites from mid-May through early October.
Echo Lake Beach provides swimming and boating activities while offering direct views of Mount Lafayette rising above the surrounding landscape.
