The gorge was created during the last Ice Age when glaciers carved through the White Mountains, leaving behind the stunning landscape we see today.
The river disappears and reappears throughout the gorge, flowing beneath the surface in several places, which led to its mysterious name.
Royal and Lyman Jackman stumbled upon the gorge while fishing, leading to its eventual development as a tourist attraction.
The gorge is home to several rare plant species, including the pink lady's slipper, a type of orchid native to the area.
These caves were formed by massive boulders that were deposited by retreating glaciers, creating a labyrinth of tunnels and passageways.
A mile-long boardwalk allows visitors to explore the gorge safely while preserving the natural environment.
This designation helps protect the area's natural beauty and biodiversity, ensuring it remains a haven for wildlife and plant species.
The site offers guided tours and educational programs that focus on geology, ecology, and the history of the area.
