Things to do at Livermore Falls Recreation Area
- View the Main Falls EasyRV parking available
The centerpiece of the park is a cascade where the Pemigewasset River drops through a rocky gorge. Short footpaths lead from the upper lot to overlooks above the falls. Rocks near the water are slippery and caution is advised, especially during high flows.
- Pumpkinseed Bridge Viewing EasyRV parking available
A historic steel-truss bridge spans the river just above the falls and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can view the structure from the riverbank and learn about its role in the valley's transportation history.
- Summer Swimming and Wading EasyRV parking available
Calm pools downstream of the falls are a popular summer swimming spot. The water stays cold well into summer, and swimmers should stay clear of the fast current near the cascade.
- Riverside Picnicking EasyRV parking available
Open areas along the Pemigewasset River provide informal picnic spots with views of the gorge. Facilities are limited, so visitors should pack in and pack out food, drinks, and trash.
- Fishing the Pemigewasset EasyRV parking available
The Pemigewasset River near Livermore Falls is a classic New Hampshire trout and smallmouth bass fishery. A valid New Hampshire fishing license is required, and anglers should check current state regulations for seasonal restrictions.

The gorge, bridge, and surrounding hardwood forest make a classic fall foliage subject in late September and early October. Soft morning light on the falls and colored canopy draws photographers from across the region.
