5 of us did the flume gorge hike which includes the "pool", "avalanche falls", "liberty gorge" and "flume gorge" all along about a 2 or 2.5 mile hike. You can take a bus to bypass parts of it on the way up. It's a lot of uphill walking and the flume gorge part has a lot up stairs going up. The sights are really magnificent and worth seeing.
4. The Rocks Estate and Christmas Tree Farm

Beautiful estate of meadows, woods and barns.

Today we had the pleasure of visiting The Rocks Estate. Even though the weather was not the best, it didn’t deter us from having a terrific hike through the woods on one of the trails offered. The presidential range can be viewed on a few of the trails. The colors were beautiful! The estate is full of history and you are able to visit several buildings that have signs explaining it’s historical significance. There is also a Christmas tree farm where you can tag the perfect tree. All in all, it’s a great place to visit.

This should definitely be top 5 activities in Merrimack. My wife and I visited for the weekend and went to a few of the other parks and conservation areas, but this one was by far the best! Well maintained, beautiful, easy to walk and navigate, and really cool falls. We went in late March, the snow was melting and the fall and rapids were really moving. It was really pleasing. Recommend!
