New Hampshire might not be the only place in America with fantastic opportunities for enjoying nature. But it’s definitely the only place in the number one spot on our list of favorites! One of the reasons for this is just how varied the opportunities are. If you love the beach in the summer, there’s an adorable coastline to enjoy. And those who prefer the mountains have their pick of some of the best. Even the people who take pleasure in the walk to their mailbox and back have some of the best views in the region. We love all of these things, but we especially appreciate just how many rural corners there are in New Hampshire. This hike, located in the center of the woods, is one of our favorites!
Some of the best hikes in New Hampshire can be found in the popular and often busy White Mountains. But that doesn’t mean each one is tourist-ready and easy to access.

The Beede Falls Trail is just under one mile and leads to an underrated natural feature we love. You’ll find the trail head in the Sandwich Range Wilderness, away from the crowds that make other trails in the Whites feel like a city sidewalk at times.

You can enter the area to access the trail at Mead Reservation Center, where the route is well-marked and easy to follow.

There are even some fun features along the way, including a footbridge that kids love.

While there are a few roots along the way, most of the trail is easy to navigate and the 90-foot elevation gain is barely noticeable, even if you’re a novice hiker.

This waterfall isn’t a doozy by any stretch. But as you get closer you’re likely to hear it nonetheless.

In the spring when runoff from snow melt arrives, the waterfall is likely to be stronger.

But that doesn’t mean you must avoid it in the winter! This beauty is fun to visit year-round and we’d even argue that it’s better in the winter surrounded by ice and snow.
Melissa Querry / alltrails.com Once you’ve seen the falls and you’re ready to head back to the trailhead simply turn around and follow the same trail back. This is a lovely hike that doesn’t require a lot of attention to reach your destination.
But, of course, always take caution when hiking no matter how simple the trail seems. Other than that, enjoy your time and be sure to make plans to visit again soon.
Beede Falls Trail can be accessed any time of year, but visitors have said it’s best between May and October. You can learn more about it by visiting this page on alltrails.com.

If even this isn’t quite remote enough consider heading to the most remote, isolated spot in New Hampshire. It’s positively breathtaking!
