Evans Falls is a waterfall on Townline Brook in Coos County, New Hampshire, in the Northeastern Highlands region, with a total height of about 7 feet. It lies about 4.1 miles southwest of Gorham and roughly 68.9 miles northwest of Portland as the crow flies.
At 7 feet it is one of the lowest falls in the state’s records: of the 115 New Hampshire waterfalls with a documented height only 3 are shorter, while the typical New Hampshire waterfall stands around 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. Townline Brook carries 3 recorded waterfalls; the biggest of them reaches 25 feet.
