— a note from the studio

“A run of low cascades and shallow pools on Lucy Brook, in the White Mountain National Forest west of North Conway. The trail is six-tenths of a mile and nearly flat, which is why families come. The water steps over ledges of weathered granite in a dozen small drops; by late summer the pools warm enough for children to wade.

— about Diana's Baths North Conway

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Diana's Baths sits on Lucy Brook in the township of Bartlett, about three miles up West Side Road from Route 16 in North Conway. The cascades fall through a series of low ledges of Conway granite, dropping roughly 75 feet over a quarter-mile stretch. The site is managed by the White Mountain National Forest and a small day-use fee is collected at the trailhead. The path from the parking area is wide, gravelled, and nearly level, which makes it one of the most accessible waterfall walks in the state.

— the water

Lucy Brook drains the eastern slope of Big Attitash Mountain and feeds the Saco River below. In May and early June the cascades run hardest from snowmelt; by August the flow slows and the pools above the ledges warm enough for wading. In winter the falls freeze into layered curtains, and ice climbers occasionally work the lower face. The brook carries Conway granite sediment that gives the bedrock its characteristic pale pink, visible where the water has scoured the rock smooth.

— the visit

Open year-round; the parking lot at the trailhead off West Side Road requires a small National Forest day-use fee, payable at the kiosk. The walk from the lot to the first ledge runs six-tenths of a mile and takes about twenty minutes. Pets are allowed on leash. Summer weekends and fall-foliage weekends fill the lot by mid-morning; arrive before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m. for room. The area connects to the Moat Mountain Trail for hikers who want a longer day above the cascades.

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Diana's Baths North Conway — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

On Lucy Brook in Bartlett, off West Side Road about three miles from North Conway village, within the White Mountain National Forest in northern New Hampshire.

Six-tenths of a mile each way on a wide, nearly level gravel path from the trailhead lot. Most families allow about an hour for the round trip with stops.

The pools are shallow and stony, used more for wading than swimming. By August the water above the upper ledges warms enough for children to sit in.

Yes, a small White Mountain National Forest day-use fee paid at the trailhead kiosk. A national recreation pass such as the America the Beautiful pass covers it.

The full run drops roughly 75 feet over a quarter-mile of ledges. No single drop is large; the feature is the sequence of low cascades and pools on Lucy Brook.

Local folklore named the pools for the Roman goddess of the hunt. The name predates the National Forest era and appears on nineteenth-century guidebooks of the Mount Washington Valley.

— about the piece in your home

It's been a meaningful gift for customers with ties to the Mount Washington Valley. Diana's Baths is the family trail people remember. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note carries well.

The piece reads at home in Mountain-modern, Cabin-traditional, and Biophilic rooms. Pale granite tones and brook blues sit against pine, white shiplap, or a deep forest-green wall.

Yes. The Voynich palette pairs with live moss frames, river-stone vessels, and unsealed oak. The water-on-granite signature gives a Biophilic wall its grounding object.

A single Large holds a console. Above a sofa, a four-tile Mural reads at scale; a nine-tile Mural anchors a long mudroom wall or stair landing.

Yes, in Dura Satin or Matte. Both finishes resist humidity and scratching and clean with a soft cloth and plain water.

A microfibre cloth and water. No household sprays. The colour lives in the ceramic surface beneath a thin glossy finish and will not lift or fade.

Yes. Reid Wender curates the WenderVista atlas from a single studio in Knoxville, Tennessee. The work is not licensed from other artists and is hand-finished in-house.
