 It's
an adventure that combines the beauty and mysteries of nature with
the excitement of exploring! Lost River Gorge is a journey through
time. As you travel this timeline, you’ll explore steep walled
gorges and rugged boulder caves still lit by lanterns and guided
by boardwalks. You’ll marvel at the colors and delicate beauty
of over one hundred species of native flowers, ferns, and shrubs
in our nature garden. Along your ¾ mile journey, the river
will keep you company along the way, playing hide and seek among
the huge boulders and deep crevasses. Even when it’s not visible,
the river is never far away—you’ll hear it babbling over
the rocks, just out of sight, and you’ll understand why they
call it “Lost River.”
Your exploration of Lost River can be as easy or as ambitious as
you choose to make it. You can stay on the boardwalk, or accept the
challenge of the Dungeon and the Lemon Squeezer; it’s up to
you. To make your adventure more enjoyable, sturdy footwear and outdoor
clothing are recommended and no strollers are
allowed in the Gorge.
Of course, Lost River offers more than caves and boardwalks. Enjoy a stroll on
the Ecology trail, or for the very experienced hiker the Dilly Cliff. A short
video on the history of Lost River and information and exhibits concerning New
Hampshire wildlife can be seen in the Forest Society’s Log Cabin.
Panning for gemstones or fossils at the Lost River Mining Company is enjoyed
by children and adults of all ages; and even if you don’t discover diamonds
or rubies, finding a treasure at our Country Store Gift Shop is a sure thing!
We have told we have some of the best selection of fossils and gems around. At
the end of your visit, relax and have a bite to eat while you enjoy the views
from our deck or under our new picnic shelter.
For the safety and enjoyment of all guests, service dogs are the only animals
allowed into ¬the gorge. We are in the process of completing outdoor kennels
for those traveling with four legged friends. Please call for status. 603-745-8031
