New Hampshire is full of mountain streams and bubbling creeks, with a new bigger rivers making their way through the state. However, one New Hampshire underground river is particularly interesting because it has carved a series of caves beneath the ground’s surface. Where it pops above ground the river emerges as cascades and bubbling pools that will take your breath away.
Lost River Gorge got its name because the stream that flows through the gorge disappears underground before reappearing in an array of waterfalls.
