This listing is probably the lower falls of Beede Falls in Sandwich Notch Park. From the Sandwich Notch Road trailhead, walk the quarter-mile trail to Beede Falls. A makeshift trail south of the main falls leads to the lower falls, a 20-foot slide over broad ledges. A loop back to the parking lot from below the lower falls needs a river crossing that can be difficult.
