Small Falls near the Basin
The Pemigewasset River feeds the Basin and the surrounding area. The Basin is a large pothole in the Pemigewasset River, 30 feet in diameter and 15 feet deep. The river flows out of Profile Lake, at an elevation of 1900 feet, the river drains Franconia Notch and is fed by many small streams that fall from the steep mountain sides that line this valley. This one of many unnamed small waterfalls near the Basin in Franconia New Hampshire. There were many opportunities to photograph several waterfalls near the Basin.
Beech, yellow birch and maple are dominant, with some softwoods mixed in. Several species of smaller plants and wildflowers cover the forest floor.This is not a virgin forest, for long ago the woodsman's axe was first heard. By 1900 most of the old growth forest in the Notch, as in most of New England, had been cut and hauled to the sawmill.
