Salroc Falls is a two-part waterfall on Snyder Brook in White Mountain National Forest: a 7 foot lower drop among boulders and a 12 foot fan about 100 feet upstream. From the kiosk at the Appalachia Trailhead, go a few feet and turn left on the Presidential Rail Trail. After about 0.1 miles turn right on the yellow-blazed Fallsway Trail beside Snyder Brook. Pass Gordon Falls at 0.3 miles and the Maple Walk junction, and reach Lower Salroc Falls at about 0.6 miles. Continue about 100 feet on the trail and scramble down to the brook at Upper Salroc Falls. Return the same way; the trail network is confusing, so a map helps.
