Lost River Reservation

Highlight • Gorge

The Lost River Reservation is set high in Kinsman Notch, one of the most famous passes in the area. This beautiful wooded area gets its name from the brook draining from the southeast of the notch that disappears below the surface in a narrow, steep-walled glacial gorge. The gorge is partially filled with massive granite blocks, through which the brook cascades along its course until it eventually emerges and joins the Pemigewasset River. Lost River protects 157 acres around the gorge, including a mile-long boardwalk, waterfalls, and caves, among the many attractions here to explore.
