For us this was a two-fer, we had planned on dinner at Govoni's restaurant in Woodstock New Hampshire anyway, but we also love the Waterfall directly behind the venue as well. It really makes waiting to be seated enjoyable, and of course many people not there for dinner were there to explore lost river.
If you haven't been to the lost river caves that is a great place to spend a hot august day. they are mostly shaded and cool in more ways than one.
The Story of Lost River Caves: The first documented exploration of Lost River took place in 1852. Similar to Alice’s tumble down the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland, local historian Elmer E. Woodbury related in his writings how the Jackman brothers, Royal and Lyman were busily fishing along the stream, working their way over and around the boulders when suddenly Lyman disappeared out of site as if the earth had swallowed him up. He had slipped into a moss covered hole and fallen into a cave about 15 feet below into a pool of water about waist deep. Now known as Shadow Cave, it was the first of the many caves the boys would soon discover. Lost River Link
