Rumney Falls is a 6-foot waterfall on Stinson Brook in Grafton County, New Hampshire, in the Northeastern Highlands region. It lies about 0.2 miles northeast of Rumney and roughly 58.9 miles north of Manchester as the crow flies.
At 6 feet it is one of the lowest falls in the state’s records: of the 115 New Hampshire waterfalls with a documented height only 1 are shorter, while the typical New Hampshire waterfall stands around 30 feet. By form it is 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.
