Case Falls is a 25-foot dam and natural cascade with stone-arch bridges in the Case Mountain area of Manchester. New England Waterfalls says the falls are partly visible from the parking area; for a better view, walk a bit further up Spring Street, cross the guardrail and follow the brook to the base.
