Experience Diana’s Baths NH

Diana’s Baths NH is an easy half mile walk that is a must-do family adventure in Conway.

If you are in the area visiting StoryLand or Conway Scenic Railroad, you’ll want to make time to visit Diana’s Baths NH.  It’s the perfect change of pace to the bustle of the areas attractions.  Of course, it can be very popular in the Summer months, but even when it is busy, Diana’s Baths is a peaceful spot to recharge.

There are many areas to explore along the way, and several places to stop and checkout the cascading falls and pools.

This is a nice spot for sunbathing and wading, although you should take care to only wade in shallow areas.  Always keep good track of the kiddos because the rocks can be slippery and the current is strong in some places.  When we visited, Mr. Juggling Act and I staked out a spot on one of the large smooth rocks while the kids explored little pools of water looking for critters.   We must have spent an hour like that, just relaxing and enjoying the sunshine and the sound of the water.
