Thompson Falls. The trail approaches the falls from the left. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)Thompson Falls, located on a rushing mountain stream at the base of the east side of Moat Mountain, is a mysterious place. Though found on the 1942 USGS North Conway quadrangle, and briefly described in the AMC White Mountain Guide back in the 1950s, it fell from public awareness for a long time.
Also, the half mile Thompson Falls Trail didn't become an official White Mountain National Forest foot trail until last year, and was brought into awareness only because of the 14 miles of "user created" mountain bike trails in the surrounding area at the base of the Moats, that were then officially recognized by the forest service. And, it was designated as a foot trail only because it was too steep to be designated as a mountain bike trail.
