Beaver Brook Cascade - NH (Waterfall)

-Lost River Road (Route 112), Woodstock, New Hampshire (near Beaver Brook Pond)
-visited June 2016
-2 miles each way
-difficult
-porta potty bathrooms
-nearby: Mount Moosilauke, Basin Cascade, Mount Lafayette/Lincoln/Little Haystack/Falling Waters Falls, Mount Liberty/Flume
-notes:
     -paved parking, pay to park
     -trail begins as level, but quickly becomes a steep incline that is constant for the remainder of the hike
     -trail has a lot of rocks, roots and man made stairs
     -trail is very steep and slick, use extreme caution (some hand holds were installed for bad portions)
     -about 600 feet worth of falls broken into multiple drops and cascades
     -waterfall is very rain dependent
     -nice limited view over the valley from the top of the falls
     -some off-trailing is required to get good vantage points without obstructions
     -trees provide full shade of trail
     -is ok in low water, but some portions are almost dried up
     -if continue along the trail for a few miles, will find the summit of Mount Moosilauke
