Flume Gorge , New Hampshire

The Flume Gorge is a small public recreation area, consisting of about 2.5 miles of hiking trails. There are two major focal points of the Gorge, one being the Flume Gorge itself, and the other the Pool. Located just 5 miles south of the Old Man of the Mountain, the Gorge lies about 50 miles due north of Concord, in the very heart of the White Mountains.
