Lost River Gorge


About Lost River Gorge & Boulder Caves

Kinsman NotchIt'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.Lost River Boardwalk

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
