Rocky Gorge
a churning flume with a footbridge over the river
Rocky Gorge is one of the places Roamward flags on the Kancamagus Highway because it gives the drive its texture: a churning flume with a footbridge over the river. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The The Kanc runs Lincoln → Conway, NH. White Mountains, peak fall color.
Nearby route stops
- Lower Falls — wide granite ledges and swimming holes on the Swift River (The Kanc)
- Sabbaday Falls — a short walk to a tiered waterfall through a flume (The Kanc)
