- Lower Ammonoosuc
- Emerald Pool
- Garnet Pool
- Big Eddy
- Smarts Brook (about 7’ deep, 25’ wide. Very accessible.)
- Welton Fall (shaded, about 45’ long and 15’ wide.)
- Franconia Falls (a “waterpark”)
- Gem Pool (cold due to elevation)
- Diana’s Bath
- Lower Falls (often crowded, slide along the Swift River by the Kancamagus River)
