Hot day? Cool off with a New Hampshire swimming hole! From our beaches to rivers we have plenty of spots to jump in (maybe from a cliff?) and cool off!
From the dam at the center of Campton, take RT 49 north 3.9 miles to the Smarts Brook trailhead parking area on the right. Hike up this trail about 1 mile to swimming place (easy hike.)
From the center of Durham, follow RT 108 south for 1.5 miles and then take a right onto Bennet Road. Stay right at all "Y" intersections and follow Bennet Road all the way to the end where it intersects Packers Falls Rd.
Go 0.5 miles west on RT 302 past the Silver Springs Campground. Look for the well worn parking area on the right side of the road. Park just before you cross over a small brook that runs through a culvert beneath the road.
River has carved out slots in rocks. 24 miles from Lincoln, 10 mi from Conway. Signs say that swimming is permitted upstream of the gorge, you can swim legally anywhere except in the area below the bridge.
