According to the Bolnicks' excellent "Waterfalls of the White Mountains", there is a good waterfall to be seen by bushwacking up Davis Brook. After years of speculation on this rumor, and not one bit of evidence found to prove or disprove it, a trek up the brook was made to settle the matter once and for all.
Far up the brook, several miles from the highway is indeed one gem of a waterfall. Davis Brook Falls consists of two major drops, listed here as the "Upper" falls and the "Lower" falls. The Lower Falls is the smaller of the two, perhaps 30-40 feet in height, and consists of a sloping channel which drops into a pool beneath a ledge. Above the Lower Falls and slightly around a corner is the Upper Falls. The Upper is a near straight drop of 50 feet into a pool, where the water gathers before sliding down ledges to plunge over the lower falls.

Davis Brook rests within a steep-walled ravine blocked from public access by posted land at it's lower end. To access the falls, one must use an adjacent hiking trail into WMNF land, then bushwhack more than a mile over a rough ridge before dropping into the extremely deep ravine. The falls lie a few miles up the brook from the highway on a northern fork.
