Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park New Hampshire

This place of mother nature is beautiful. I walked counterclockwise around the trail and was able to see Wolfes Den, and pool and waterfalls before the rest of the crowd. The only challenge was the platforms towards the beginning of the trail where it was narrow and hard to have two way traffic. The sound of water, the walkway, the way the water had cut through the rocks to create the current formations are amazing. I would recommend going there early to beat the crowd.

This is an okay place to visit, nice trails, but lots of visitors even on a weekday. There are a few photo worthy falls, but again with a lot of visitors you feel rushed along. The visitor center is good size, bathrooms were clean, staff at the gift store were not very effective in keeping the line moving. Restrooms: The restroom was good size and clean

A great workout indeed. It ranges from stairs, to going up and down steep hills. I don't recommend bringing your children if they need a carrier or a stroller with all the stairs. A lot of the trails were closed off today, so maybe those ones are more accessible. I enjoyed the trail we were on and the sound of the river plus the birds chirping! It was wonderful! Cutest little gift shop, such friendly park rangers, they do have a cafe in the visitor center as well.

This is a must see! A little over a two mile hike alongside the "flume" - where water over thousands of years has carved a path through the rock. It does involve a lot of stairs, but there are benches to rest if you need it. Super friendly staff, views you'll never forget.

Beautiful little walk. Pretty easy, but does have some uphill so I recommend sneakers. Not long at all, so maybe a little overpriced for ticket price. It was also 60 degrees in the middle of summer but the gorge is the only chilly part. Restrooms very clean at the visitor center

This is a beauty of a hike!! Nothing crazy but just nature at its best!! Amazing views of the waterfalls!! Also pregnant women safe!! Highly recommend this if you haven’t already!! The best part that is not nature related is the relatively well priced souvenirs at the gift shop .. the staff who work there are sooo friendly and the food is great too!! We had a slice of pizza and a burger and it was delicious!! Well made!!

Such a beautiful place. Lots of uphill walking and downhill. The downhill can do a havoc on your ankles. Unpaved trails. I'm a little bit afraid of heights but this wasn't so bad. Be careful with young children since there are parts of the walk that are steep areas. Being from Florida I could feel the elevation level in my breathing. Save $3.00 on tickets by prepurchasing online and reserve a time slot. Tickets are normally $21 a person. There is no cell service in the area. There was a rain storm the day before so the gorge had rushing water and it was beautiful. We went end of July so it's a bit hit outside so we went on their first time slot which is 9 a.m. to beat the heat.

The flume was about the same as I remembered from thirty five years ago which is what we like- we don’t want to see nature changed by man! The day we went it was pouring which was even nicer, much less human traffic through a natural wonder we understand and respect the need to maintain trails, but it would be really nice if there was a naturalist or teacher discount recognized; $99 for four children and an adult, although this natural gem is absolutely wonderful, is a bit steep on a family budget for a relatively short hike- glad we went, really enjoyed the short little jaunt of a couple hours with less human traffic

We've visited the Flume once a year for the past few years, and each time we visit it, it's just as breathtaking as the first time we saw it! It's a short walk, and there are several places to take breaks, enjoy the view, and grab a quick drink. The falls are in the beginning of the trail which is fantastic, then the rest of the trail is a wooded walk. Great for families!

A great hike of about 2 miles more or less. The trail is wide and nicely groomed. Waterfalls, pools and covered bridges along the way. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. We took our time and stopped frequently to enjoy the natural surroundings. Restrooms: There are restrooms at the visitor center as well as the Boulder cabin.
