New in July & August 2010...
Check out our new Log Cabin Country Store located across from the mining sluice. Inside you will find a selection of rocks, fossils, snacks and more. Also this year in the gift shops you will find we have even more of a selection of rocks and fossils from all around the world. There are rocks from Chile, Argentina and Mexico just to name a few.

Lantern Tours
Lost River during the day is astonishing, but Lost River at night is a whole new adventure. There is a different appreciation at night of the gorge and caves with its massive crevasse and no street lights. The caves are lit by lanterns and boardwalks are lit by headlamps (feel free to bring your own or if you do not have one we will provide you one for your use during the tour. We also sell headlamps in the gift shop). The tour is guided and lasts approximately 1.5 hours. The tour begins at approximately 7:30pm and when it is completed we suggest that you please join us in roasting marshmallows and making delicious s'mores by the fire pit.

The Lantern tour runs on Saturday nights from June 19th 2010 through September 4th 2010. Advanced reservations with a valid credit card are required. If you do not show up for your reservation your credit card will be charged the price of the reservation. A minimum of 5 people are needed to run the tour and the maximum capacity is 20 people. All reservations must be made by 5pm on Friday before the tour by calling 603-745-8031. All cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.

Cost: $20.00 per person

Lost River Weather Tower
What is it?? In 2006 the New Hampshire Department of Transportation installed a RWIS (Road Weather Information System) to collect and displays data from a network of pavement and atmospheric sensors to provide up-to-date site-specific weather and pavement conditions around the State. The weather station at Lost River Gorge is located in our upper parking lot. We feel fortunate to be asked to host one of these technological weather stations. In 2007 the state put an informational display at the station so visitors can learn about the fascinating information being collected. There is also a website for this station on top of Kinsman Notch. To take a peak, click here...
