Diana’s Baths

Best deal in town
$ 3 parking
⁶⁄₁₀ mile walk
Very beautiful water and rocks to climb on
Make sure that you bring plenty of bug spray and a pen for the payment envelope
There is a bathroom at the start, although recommend you avoid it unless you really need to go badly :)

The waterfalls are majestic. They go on and on with each level being more fascinating than the one before it. What I like most about this trail is that you get to go on adventures jumping over rocks to cross the streams. The Appalachian paths (orange) has a couple of these crossovers and you have to be careful not to slip. Use a stick to balance yourself against the rocks.
Perfect anytime of the day and any season event winter when the waterfalls are frozen. They look like ice castles.

Really pretty here! Very easy hike that leads to waterfalls. Great photo op and in the summer you can go in the water! Well worth a visit!

Beautiful ½ mile hike leading to a majestic series of natural pools and waterfalls. Diana’s Baths is a great place to bring the whole family to enjoy some gorgeous scenery, with out a lot of gear or exhaustion. Beware that this place can get crazy busy with kids, dogs, people taking pictures, swimmers, and people cruising by to hike some of the longer trails. There is a lot, which requires a day use fee during the Summer. I was surprised to see how many were out and about (especially the amount of dogs) on a chilly January weekend morning. The scenery in Winter is spectacular as well, with the icicles and snow making for quite a different atmosphere. Just be careful not to slip and go for a polar bear plunge by mistake. The entrance is not far from N. Conway and is just past the entrance to Echo Lake park and Cathedral Ledge.

So this place was very difficult to find if you’re either using Unilocal or even google maps. I typed in the addresses they provided and neither led me to this place. I had to ask the kiosk at the hotel I was staying in for directions and they had a printed out drawn map that really helped me out. I don’t think I would have found this place without the printout to be honest.
Since this is mid November, there weren’t a lot of people which was nice. Overall I have to say that I was very disappointed with what I found. Everyone kept telling me to see Diana’s Bath when I asked what there was to do. The falls were very underwhelming and the place smelled weird. It smelled a lot like piss but maybe it has something to do with the morning frost melting or something but I didn’t find it appealing.

Nice hike through the forest to view beautiful water falls and wading pools. Great for young and old alike. The start of the hike is easy and gets more difficult and challenging the higher you climb. Bring a picnic lunch and spend a few hours enjoying nature at its finest. We went in October, such beautiful foliage all around. Definitely worth a visit!

Thanks gods that I found this place it was beautiful. About a 30 min hike easy terrain so easy we took grammy with us. I’d be lucky to find it again GPS was not cooperating.

So beautiful, but a little hard to find we had to ask the locals. This is a fairly easy hike you can do on a whim about 1.25mi round trip. you can also go swimming and picnic here as well.

What a neat place! The short hike up to Diana’s bath is cute and nothing hard. The water is very chilly but it is so much fun! It’s a beautiful area with waterfalls and large rocks. Defiantly recommend this place on a hot day!

Diana’s Baths are beautiful, but the crowds… not so much. It’s a quick half-​mile stroll down a wide path to get to the bottom. Plenty of room at the falls to park your stroller/​wheelchair/​personal mobility scooter. If you can crawl over the writhing mass of bodies you might even get to see the water. I was at Central Park (the real one in NYC) recently and I think that was less crowded.
Tip: if you hike about a quarter mile up the right side of the falls, you can get away from most of the screaming two-​year-​olds and XXXL beauties in bikinis sunning themselves on the rocks. I would imagine this place would be well worth a visit on a warm September day after the crowds die down.

This place is soooooooo cool.
My babe and I arrived just as it started to rain which made our experience that much better as it cleared the masses out.
We walked about .06 miles to the baths. It was awesome, all the little falls and tons of little pools everywhere.
My love had the idea to climb further up, away from the left over people to see what it was like up stream.
This was the coolest part, we just kept going and going, jumping and scaling over rocks to see even more beautiful pools and mini waterfalls. One guy told us about this black hole amongst the rocks that you can actually jump or dive in because it’s that deep. It literally looks like a little black hole big enough for just one person. Crazy cool.
The rocks were smooth and wonderful, we’d like to go back and have some more water fun.

What a gorgeous area and beautiful falls!
This 4^th we visited the area and decided to take a hike up to the falls. We skipped paying for parking since we parked outside the park and hiked up.
The hike itself was beautiful and not as intense as we thought it would be. There were a few areas that called for crossing the water but it was welcomed on a warm day. The falls themselves were great and swimming in the water was nice.
The water was freezing which was nice but sunbathing on the rocks was the best part. The falls were packed in certain areas, but everyone was kind and it didn’t seem chaotic. The one tip I have is pack lightly if you are hiking up. The incline can be a bit tough in places.

Die beeindruckenden Wasserfälle von Diana´s Baths befindet sich nur wenige Autominuten von North Conway entfernt. Da wir erst spät nachmittags im Hotel angekommen sind, hatten wir uns für diese kleine Wanderung entschieden.
Am Ausgangspunkt der Wanderung waren ausreichend Parkplätze vorhanden. Auf den Hinweisschildern konnte man sehen, dass die Wanderung nur 1 km weit ist und der Eintritt 3, — $ pro Auto beträgt.
Die Wanderung führte durch einen wunderschönen Wald bis man auf einen Flusslauf trifft. Hier konnte man verschiedene Wasserfälle in unterschiedlichen Größen bewundern. Am oberen Ende konnte man auf Felsen klettern und den Wasserfällen sehr nahe kommen. Allerdings sollte man gutes Schuhwerk anziehen und sehr aufpassen, da es an einigen Stellen glitschig sein kann.
Sehr schöné Fotomotive kann man hier finden oder ein erfrischendes Bad bzw. Dusche nehmen. In der Schneeschmelze im Frühjahr kann der Fluss und die Wasserfälle an Intensität stark zulegen.
Bis 1940 wurde hier auch ein Sägewerk betrieben und es gab ein kleines Hotel. In den 50er Jahren wurde das Gebiet dem National Park Service unterstellt und die Gebäude wurden alle abgerissen.
Als dann die Dämmerung einsetzte, machten wir uns auf den Rückweg und wir wurden von vielen unangenehmen Mücken begleitet. Das war leider eine sehr unangenehme Begleiterscheinung des Ausflugs. Insgesamt ein wirklich tolles Ausflugsziel für die ganze Familie.

If you’re visiting the area and looking for someplace to go for an hour or so, this place is it. Great for all ages as the trail is easy peasy at about .6 mile and very flat but you can go farther up the rocks to the upper falls as we did. Beautiful natural scenic views all around and insect free at least in September.
So glad we went :)

I am not outdoorsy– my natural habitat is the mall. But even I can appreciate Diana’s Baths. I was here the last week in August with my family (my husband, 3 year old daughter, & 6 month old daughter). We carried the baby in the Bjorn, but could have and should have used the jogging stroller.
It was an easy walk to the lower falls, and my 3 year old loved splashing around. It’s super shallow so she didn’t need a life jacket, but water shoes to prevent slipping are a must.
The upper falls were more difficult to get to, and I made the mistake of thinking I could climb up with the baby and all of our stuff to meet the rest of the family. I wound up shin-​deep in mud that was like quicksand. It was not pleasant.
Diana’s Baths was so beautiful that even getting lost & winding up covered in mud won’t keep me from returning next year. But I may stick to the lower falls.

A natural wonder. It costs only $ 3 for a day pass to visit the falls and its worth it. Try go on an off time so you aren’t bombarded by tons of other people. The walk was pretty easy, about .5 miles on mostly flat ground brings you to the falls. Next, pick a spot and then find a pool to dunk yourself in. The water is cold, ocean cold and refreshing.
The falls are beautiful, but can be slippery, I’d wear water shoes next time. Go on a hot or humid day and you’ve got an instant cool off station.

This is such a cool spot! It is a short and easy walk into the river and falls. We had two 7 year olds with us and they loved it. The water was nice and cool in July. If you can, wear something with a deck sole or non-​slip sole, it helps. Bring a camera too and maybe some big spray if you like to wander. The bugs were fine in the water but were worse on the paths beside it. Absolutely worth a visit!

What it is: From a large parking lot, a .6 mile walk over a groomed trail (we saw strollers and a motorized scooter make the easy trek) through woods to a beautiful multi-​tiered set of falls. The easy trail includes a bridge, streams, etc. so there is a bit to see along the way for those not used to a day out in the woods. The ‘hike’ would not wow an experienced hiker (neither strenuous nor unique), but is perfect for simply enjoying the woods and has enough to see along the way to keep little ones occupied. The falls at the end are gorgeous, not blow-​you-​away awe-​inspiring (not Niagara) but rather simply beautiful.
Even very small children can maneuver down the walking path and wade in the lower falls (except perhaps in spring during the snow runoff). The more adventurous and able-​bodied can use the trails or climb the rocks of the falls themselves (they are not vertical, more a series of small plateaus).
This is a great multi-​generational/​multi-​age expedition with enough adventure available in particular for teens who can go exploring (I live with 30 teenagers, so am always on the lookout for teen-​appropriate spots) while those preferring a less strenuous trip can enjoy the lower tiers of the falls.
The bugs vary considerably from visit to visit. My recent trip in August was bug-​free, although mid-​day in summer it was very crowded.

I could have easily spent the whole day here. Gorgeous falls with big rocks to lounge on and dip your toes into deliciously cold mountain water. Great place for kids too — some shallow places for them to wade or swim in. It is an easy hike from the parking lot. (Speaking of — when a state part has some self pay honor code parking fee — pay it. State parks are worth investing at least $ 3 in) I like to think I am a hiker — but really, I am a walker who likes the woods. Bring some kind of water shoes to the falls if you are balance challenged. I went in barefoot and found them a bit slippery. Do not use your GPS to get there. It will take you half way up the mountain no where near the entrance. Use the state park’s site to get you there.

I loved our visit to Diana’s Baths while in the White Mountains last summer!
I definitely wouldn’t describe this as a «hike» as the falls are only a half mile or so of smooth, manicured path from the parking lot. As others have mentioned, you really should pay the $ 3 to park, as it goes towards the park, and the park is priceless.
So you get to Diana’s Baths, park, slip three dollars in an envelope and then walk a half mile through a big, beautiful forest. The baths are really a series of rock waterfalls, with cool, clear water gurgling and bubbling from a river above. This is one of those places that you should take your kids, so they learn to love nature, and bring their own kids some day!
I went with my then-​fiancé, now husband, who was raised primarily in New Hampshire and remembers going there when he was little. So cute. Almost as cute as the forgotten Batman action figure I found hanging out on a rock in the falls!
If you’re within an hour drive of this spot, you should hit it up. It’s worth the visit!

This place is absolutely amazing. It’s the perfect walking distance from the parking lot (0.6 miles), and the path is clearcut. At the other end of that path is a plain of rocks that extends uphill for hundreds of yards. Be sure to wear your bathing suit on hot summer days, because over, on top, and in between those rocks cascades the freshest water you’ve ever «bathed» in!
Bring a couple beers (just make sure you clean up after yourselves!) and a good group of friends, and camp out at this unique spot for a few hours. If you’re not in a drinking mood, pack some yummy snacks! Say, some Cape Cod chips with plain yogurt to dip ‘em in! It might sound weird, but trust me, it’s phenomenal.
DON’T FORGET to pack a self-​timing camera and have yourselves a BLAST!!! This place is perfect for the corniest of photography, and I highly suggest you take full advantage. Feel free to refer to my photos for some examples, inspiration, vision, rumble, spark, etc. The rocks are super fun to play on, too! I dunno about you, but hopping stones over cold treacherous waters brings me back to my childhood days. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating, but seriously, be careful! Ankles can sprain easily, and fingers tend to get bloody. I suppose it’s all in good fun.
