Holden Falls is a waterfall on tributary of Coppermine Brook in Grafton County, New Hampshire, in the Northeastern Highlands region, with a total height of about 22 feet. It lies about 7.3 miles southwest of Deerfield and roughly 81 miles northwest of Portland as the crow flies.
At 22 feet it is on the modest side for New Hampshire, where the typical waterfall with a recorded height stands around 30 feet; it ranks 80th of 115. The water comes down as a horsetail, where the water keeps some contact with the bedrock as it falls.
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.
