Rocky Gorge Scenic Area
Rocky Gorge is a waterfall and the name of a scenic and picnic area along the Swift River in the White Mountain National Forest of New Hampshire, United States, next to the Kancamagus Highway.
Rocky Gorge is a powerful narrow gorge that was carved by glaciers, and offers a 10′ drop and rapids throughout. This beautiful scenic area is accessed by a short walk along a paved walkway from the large parking area off of the Kancamagus Highway. There is a foot bridge over the gorge which provides an excellent photo opportunity looking upstream to where the Swift River cascades into the gorge. The foot path on the other side of the bridge gradually ascends a small rise to Falls Pond. There is a mile long trail around the pond which is a popular fishing area. Rocky Gorge accessible to those with disabilities. Swimming in or jumping into the gorge is prohibited and is strictly enforced.
