About This Waterfall
Dryad Fall is a tall but low volume waterfall found on the southeast side of the Mahoosuc Range near the New Hampshire-Maine border. The falls drop over 300 feet in at least two steps, the uppermost drop standing about 25 feet tall and the bulk of the falls making up the rest in a long sliding horsetail type drop. Because there does not appear to be easy access to the base of the falls it is not known whether the remainder of the falls is a single 300-foot tall drop or whether there are distinct steps (which is a very likely possibility). The stream is quite small and it will run dry during the summer months, so the falls are best visited during the spring melt season, or after sustained heavy rainfall.The USGS marks the falls on the 7-inch topographic maps as Dryad Falls, though the singular form seems to be more historically appropriate (both versions are acceptable though).
