Roaring Falls

Roaring Falls is the first of the seven Brook Walk waterfalls, at the upper end of the walk near the upper bridge. The Brook Walk in the Castle in the Clouds Conservation Area, owned by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT), follows Shannon Brook past seven named waterfalls: Roaring Falls, Twin Falls, Whittier Falls, The Cascades, Emerald Pool Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Falls of Song. Enter the conservation area by Ossipee Park Road off NH Route 171 in Moultonborough, drive to the top of the hill and park in the hiker lot next to the LRCT kiosk. Walk across the field to the Brook Walk kiosk. The Brook Walk starts at the upper bridge over Shannon Brook below Shannon Pond and descends 0.3 miles past the seven waterfalls, then crosses the lower bridge and climbs steeply 0.2 miles to the Shannon Brook Trail. Roaring Falls is at the start of the 0.3-mile section, near the upper bridge below Shannon Pond. LRCT currently lists a closed section between the Turtleback Mountain Trail and the Brook Walk, and a closed section of the Shannon Brook Trail; the sources read do not show exactly where these are relative to the waterfalls. Follow posted signs.
