Hermit Falls is a nice waterfall located in Chatham, New Hampshire. The waterfall has a total height of 30 feet and can be found along Basin Brook. Basin Brook is extremely seasonal and only really flows strongly during the springtime when the snow is melting. Due to this, the best months to visit the falls are usually March, April, and May. The waterfall itself drops in a unique horsetail formation.

Accessing the waterfall is relatively easy. The waterfall is located in the Wild River Wilderness within the White Mountain National Forest which features a well-marked trail system. Visitors can park at Basin Park in Chatham and then hike 1.3 miles to the falls. Ultimately, to hike out and back, the journey is 2.6 miles and it features 112 feet of elevation gain.
