Upper Falls, Coös County, Waterfall in Coös County, United States.
Upper Falls is a tiered waterfall in Coös County where water drops across multiple levels through forested terrain. The cascade flows through each distinct level, creating a series of separate drops that descend through the landscape.
This waterfall took shape over thousands of years as glacial forces carved through bedrock in the White Mountains region. The erosion processes gradually created the stepped formation visible today.
Local photographers and nature enthusiasts gather at Upper Falls throughout the seasons to document the changing water patterns and surrounding landscape.
Marked forest trails lead to multiple viewpoints where you can see the waterfall from different angles and distances. The varied paths allow you to explore the cascades at your own pace and find the best vantage points.
During winter, ice accumulates on the rock surfaces creating frozen sculptural formations along the cascade edges. These temporary ice structures transform the waterfall's appearance and attract visitors seeking unusual seasonal displays.

New Hampshire reveals a land where the White Mountains have shaped the skyline for millennia. Between northern coniferous forests and southeastern Atlantic coasts, this New England state features waterfalls cascading over granite, glacial passes carved 15,000 years ago, and industrial villages embedded in red stone. Archaeological sites, lighthouses guiding ships on Piscataqua, and estates where early 20th-century artists shaped American identity await discovery. Trails wind through gorges, along lakes reflecting peaks, and through forests where remnants of old foundries remain. Autumn light illuminates maple trees, winter turns ravines into ice amphitheaters, and spring causes waterfalls to roar. From Mount Monadnock to the Shoals Islands, New Hampshire offers a varied geography where each hill, waterfall, and stone bears witness to a deeply rooted natural and human story within the landscape of New England.
