Where is the Flume?
The Flume is located off of Exit 34 of Interstate 93 as it passes through Franconia Notch.

From the exit, the Visitor Center and parking areas for the Flume are just down the road. Parking is free and there’s plenty of it, but on busy holiday weekends, the parking lots can fill up.

The Visitor Center is free to visit and offers information on The Flume and the entire Franconia Notch State Park. There’s also a small snack shop in the Visitor Center.
