I heard a terrified child tell her mother firmly that she wanted to go somewhere safe “right now!”Īfter the gorge, we came to Wolf Den, a pile of rocks with a tunnel that was fun to squeeze through. We walked up a boardwalk that clung to first one cliff and then the other while the water roared alongside and below us. It is a stunning sight: wet black rock, rises 70 to 90 feet up, white water rushes noisily over rocks and pebbles in the bottom of the gorge and bright green moss, ferns, and small trees line the horizontal and slanting cracks in the walls. We ignored the bus and wandered through the woods past a gigantic boulder, a covered bridge, another snack shop, and then up a hill to meet Flume Brook where it flowed over Table Rock (no swimming or wading) and finally to the bottom of Flume Gorge. ![]() ![]() Once paid, we had the option of taking a bus up to the gorge or walking the half mile. The entrance fee gave us access to a two mile loop trail through the gorge and past other notable sites. The $16 per person entrance fee is paid in a gorgeous visitor center with a food court, gift shop, museum quality displays on the natural and human history of the area and large, clean bathrooms. I visited Flume Gorge when I was in New Hampshire with my son last summer. ![]()
