Diana’s Baths | Sept. 15-19, 2022

Diana’s Baths is a series of pools and small waterfalls on Lucy Brook located in New Hampshire. Part of the Saco Ranger District of the White Mountain National Forest, a three-quarter mile walk on the Moat Mountain Trail leads you to the popular destination of Diana’s Baths. Visitor numbers and impacts have increased over the last several years and litter, dog waste, human waste issues and damage to vegetation are at an all-time high. For the Hot Spot activation, the Subaru/Leave No Trace Team will be at Diana’s Baths leading a variety of workshops, outreach programs and community events, including opportunities for community involvement. Check back for more information as we work to finalize dates and program offerings.

*Diana’s Baths is located on the ancestral lands of the Wabanaki (Dawnland Confederacy), Pequawket, and Abenaki/Abénaquis and possibly other tribes*

During the Hot Spot activation, the Subaru/Leave No Trace Team led a variety of workshops, outreach programs and community events at Diana’s Baths. This included collaborating with the Forest Service, Carroll County Conservation District, and the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce to address the impacts happening at this location. Continued efforts will include creating better signage and messaging on or near the site and including Leave No Trace messaging in educational materials and outreach, website/social media information, and in programming led by community organizations. The Hot Spot reached 352 people with stewardship education and activated volunteers and successfully conducted 5 educational programs over 5 days and a trivia night.
