Summary: Lovely small waterfall just 1/2 mile from the Kancamagus highway. A nice spot to stop for an easy refreshing hike. This hike can be make by people of all ages. There are benchs along the trail for people to rest. The trail has a mini loop around and above the falls with wooden rails. It is technically open in the summer / fall because it would be easy to slide into the river when it is icy or snowy. Use extreme caution if you visit it in the early spring or winter. Trailhead: Watch for signs on Route 112 (Kancamagus highway) between Lincoln NH and Conway NH. The trailhead is well marked "Sabbaday Falls". There is a $3.00 fee to park here and no place to make change. Trailhead is 15 miles west of the Saco Ranger Station on route 112 in Conway.

Reviewed by Daryll on 8/29/2009 Nice easy hike back to the falls from the parking area. We were there in late August, excellent time although September might be best when the trees are turning. When around the falls, be sure of your footing on the wet rocks. No problem expected if wearing appropriate footwear. If you're into unusual geologic features, this one is a must.
Reviewed by Nancy B on 7/1/2008 Hiked this over 20 years ago on a regular basis. Taking my kids next week. If I remember, I'll post a new report. But, it was just as described by the person who started this page. Enjoy! 
Reviewed by Jim & Nancie on 4/28/2008 Most excellent little jaunt into the woods. We find that it is a bit more exciting when the trail is still covered in snow and the stream is running full bore. If you get there in early Spring you might catch the river and Falls still bearing it's icy coat.
Reviewed by eileen on 11/1/2007 very easy, short and sweet. nice work out - careful when it is wet (slippery). my husband that does not hike (yes-we feel sorry for him- but that doesn't stop us from hiking) he could even do this one :0)
Reviewed by JDR on 10/21/2007 Nice little leg-stretching hike, good for families with kids and people not into heavy, long hikes. Well maintained trail with lots of space made it perfect for walking with my leashed German Shepherd. Some stairs by the falls which were a tad slippery as it was raining, but unless you're walking where you shouldn't be, you won't get into any trouble. Very pretty walk. :) 
Reviewed by Sharon on 10/1/2007 I wouldn't hike this again. Past the falls, the trail crisscrosses over the brook. My friend slipped on a mossy rock and fell all the way in. Not the prettiest trail in NH -- there are so many others that are better.
Reviewed by rlp on 9/23/2004 Fantastic hike. The falls are awsome. Standing on the walkways, looking down at the pool is stunning.
Reviewed by VM on 12/19/2003 Falls are beautiful. Bring walking sticks and go beyond the falls, following the trails. Not for the faint hearted but exceptionally beautiful in the fall and great picture taking. Be ready to cross water a number of times. Happy hiking.....
