Short Falls is a stretch of rapids on the Suncook River in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, about 2.9 miles southwest of Epsom and 14.7 miles north of Manchester.
The falls
A waterfall database lists a Short Falls entry for the site but disqualifies it from waterfall classification, treating it instead as a stretch of rapids on the Suncook River. No international-scale class, drop count or flow range is published for this reach. The site sits at an elevation of about 291 feet, in the Northeastern Coastal Zone region.
Getting there
Short Falls Road crosses the Suncook River on a bridge, and a paddling guide identifies a town-beach access point on the bridge's southeast side in Epsom. Ownership, parking authorization, hours, fees, permits and a current access notice are not documented, and no put-in, take-out, portage route or hazard record has been published for this stretch.
