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.
