Glen Ellis Falls is one of the best waterfalls in New Hampshire for many reasons. It is easy to get to, has a well maintained path with signs telling you some of the history of Glen Ellis Waterfall and the Ellis River and most importantly an experience you will not forget.

From the start of your short trip to Glen Ellis Falls, you will be surprised, first by the fact that the route starts under the highway and all the work that has gone into the Glen Ellis Falls trail, which is accessible to almost anyone . The log handrails are also impressive. The granite steps and viewing areas, one at the top, another half way down the falls and the last at the base of Glen Ellis Falls. On the way to the falls you may be a bit shocked by the green water in the pool in the Ellis River just before Glen Ellis Falls. The green water is due to high levels of nutrients but offers spectacular color and complements the wonder and excitement of Glen Ellis Falls. Further down the trail as the trail continues you will find that the river suddenly disappears and a little unexpectedly you come to the top of Glen Ellis Falls. If you dare, be sure to watch the falls from the top observation flight where it gives you a straight view of Glen Ellis Falls. Descending the stairs you will find yourself at the base of the falls where there are the best spots for photos. Only downside is your camera lens and the camera will get wet from the spray from this powerful waterfall.
