Discover the Beauty of Thompson Falls

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving, Thompson Falls is located just a short distance from the main roads in Jackson, NH. From the center of Jackson, head south on NH-16 for about 1.5 miles. Turn left onto NH-16A and continue for approximately 2 miles. Look for the parking area on your right, just before the entrance to the Thompson Falls trailhead. There is no parking fee in this area.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take a bus from North Conway to Jackson. The bus service is provided by the Mount Washington Valley Transit Authority. Once you arrive in Jackson, you will need to use a rideshare service or taxi to reach Thompson Falls, as public transportation does not extend directly to the trailhead. Expect to pay around $10 to $20 for the rideshare or taxi service, depending on the distance and time of day.

• Hiking

  If you are already within the White Mountains National Forest and looking for a scenic hike, you can approach Thompson Falls via the nearby hiking trails. Starting from the parking area, take the well-marked trail leading towards the falls. The hike is approximately 1 mile and is suitable for most levels, though ensure you wear appropriate footwear and carry water. The trail can be steep in certain sections, so take your time and enjoy the view!
