CAMPTON — The Glen Ellis Scenic Area located on Route 16 in Pinkham Notch will be closed for reconstruction and rehabilitation work beginning on Oct. 10. The project is funded by the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), and fees collected through the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (REA). It is anticipated the site will be closed for approximately a year.

This popular, historic site offers a short hike to a dramatic 66-foot waterfall, picnicking opportunities, and is the starting point for the Glen Boulder and Wildcat hiking trails. Constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Many Forest visitors have personal connections to this site, with some going back generations, making it one of the oldest and most popular sites on the White Mountain National Forest.
