Swiftwater Falls is one of three beautiful named waterfalls along New Hampshire's Falling Waters Trail in Franconia Notch State Park. Located on Dry Brook, Swiftwater Falls drops 60 feet and can be seen roughly 0.7 miles in along the trail from the Old Bridle Path Trailhead. Right before this waterfall, you'll also see Stairs Falls. Further up the trail is Cloudland Falls. The path to these waterfalls is often included as part of the 8.6-mile Franconia Ridge loop hike, which is considered one of the best hikes in the White Mountains.
