Quote:
Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves are just a few miles from North Woodstock in New Hampshire on Route 112.
Glaciers are to blame for the creation of this gorge. As they moved away, they blocked water drainage and the water found a different way - through the Lost River Valley.
The gorge trail is a beautiful walk that is about three-fourth’s of a mile long. You will step down to its bottom using a series of steps. Right away you will notice that the park is very well maintained, with all wooden walkways, stairs, and platforms in perfect order, and everything is clean. That can possibly explain the quite steep price of $11 per head. Since I already mentioned it, I will finish the thought - I liked the park very much, it was very well maintained, but I think $5 per head would be more appropriate.
Since we carried a 5-month-old, we did not get into many caves along the way. I can imagine that those can be very exciting for kids that are old enough to enjoy them and young enough not to worry about getting dirty, since some of them are for crawling.
At the entrance/exit, there is a gift shop, cafeteria, and vending machines. The staff was very pleasant.
