About this spot
Stairs Falls is a real, well-documented 15-foot waterfall where Dry Brook drops down granite "steps" into a shallow pool - the first of several falls hikers reach on the Falling Waters Trail in Franconia Notch State Park, roughly 8 miles north of Lincoln, NH off I-93. Pin matches the OSM-confirmed location exactly. It is described purely as a scenic trailside stop; no swimming or jumping culture is documented, and the shallow pool and modest height make it unsuited for jumping.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
