There are a number of waterfalls in the Lincoln, N.H., area, including The Basin, a large pothole pool, also called "The Old Man's Foot Basin." Waterfall enthusiasts should take the opportunity to follow the Basin-Cascades Trail for more lovely views, cascades and waterfalls. Also check out The Flume Gorge. The walk through this natural chasm takes you past waterfalls and scenic pools. There is a free 15-minute movie on Franconia Notch State Park, and also informative displays in the Visitor Center. (Admission is charged for the Gorge.) Avalanche Falls, once called Flume Cascade, is located at the head of the Flume. For more information visit http://www.nhstateparks.com/franconia.html
