Cloudland Falls is a waterfall on Dry Brook in Grafton County, New Hampshire, in the Northeastern Highlands region, with a total height of about 80 feet. It lies about 6.8 miles south of Deerfield and roughly 77.5 miles northwest of Portland as the crow flies.
At 80 feet it stands in the tallest quarter of New Hampshire’s 115 waterfalls with a recorded height, ranking 27th; the typical New Hampshire waterfall is about 30 feet. The water comes down as a fan, spreading out horizontally as it falls and staying in contact with the rock.
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, and Cloudland Falls is the tallest of them.
