Swiftwater Falls is a 60-foot waterfall on Dry Brook in Grafton County, New Hampshire, in the Northeastern Highlands region. It lies about 7 miles southwest of Deerfield and roughly 77.7 miles northwest of Portland as the crow flies.
At 60 feet it is taller than the typical New Hampshire waterfall of about 30 feet, ranking 33rd 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.
The Northeastern Highlands are the mountains of northern New England and the Adirondacks, with spruce-fir on the summits and northern hardwood forest of maple, beech and birch below, and countless lakes and boulder-strewn brooks. Fast mountain streams drop over granite and gneiss ledges in chains of falls and pools. Dry Brook carries 3 recorded waterfalls; the biggest of them reaches 80 feet.
