Pool, The is a 30-foot waterfall on Pemigewasset River in Grafton County, New Hampshire, in the Northeastern Highlands region. It lies about 8.8 miles north of Woodstock and roughly 77.1 miles northwest of Portland as the crow flies.
At 30 feet it is taller than the typical New Hampshire waterfall of about 30 feet, ranking 55th of 115 with a recorded height. The tallest single drop is 10 feet. By form it is a cascade, descending over a series of rock steps rather than in a single drop.

Fast mountain streams drop over granite and gneiss ledges in chains of falls and pools. Pemigewasset River carries 5 recorded waterfalls, and Pool, The is the tallest of them.
