Walking though Flume Gorge is definitely one of the highlights of any visit to the Franconia Notch State Park in the White Mountain National Forest. Before you walk through the Gorge you can drop by the Visitor’s Center to watch a 20-min movie that showcases the beautiful Park. Flume Gorge is quite dramatic – the sheer walls of the gorge are up to 90 feet high in places and are just 12 to 20 feet apart.

You can walk along the floor of the gorge along a boardwalk to see some impressive waterfalls and glacial boulders. If you like, you can extend your walk to include Liberty Gorge where a lovely cascading stream flows through the narrow valley.
