Queer Waterfall Hike with the Reproductive Freedom Fund of NH - White Mountains, New Hampshire
May 30, 2026 — 12:30 pm - 5:30 pm ET
Last day to register: May 28, 2026
Have you ever wanted to hike to an 80 foot waterfall? Join Volunteer Jess and the Reproductive Freedom Fund of NH for a relaxing afternoon day hike in the forest.
The ReproFund works to alleviate financial burdens to reproductive and gender affirming healthcare for those living and seeking it in NH. This event will be part of the Repro Fund's Spring Reprolympics series to help raise funds for their queer care program! All event proceeds will go to the Repro Fund!
This hike is a 5 mile out-and-back trail, with 1090 feet of elevation gain. We will move at a pace that matches the slowest hiker so we can all fully enjoy each others company while spending time outdoors.
The trail will be mostly flat with a few moderate sections along a brook. You can expect to be walking on uneven surfaces over rocks and roots, through mud, and across some wooden boardwalk paths. We will plan to stop during the hike to take a longer rest and eat snacks together, so please plan to pack food and bring plenty of water with you!
The trailhead is off of a road near private property so make sure to pay attention to designated parking signs.
We ask folks under the age of 18 to please register themselves and an adult to accompany them. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated at this event.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
