When given lemons, make lemonade
Here are some nice ones, less visited
Giant Falls and Dryad Falls in Shelburne. A llop can be made up tot Dream lake. Dryad falls trails was relocated away from the falls a few years back but its pretty easy to take a walk down through the hemlocks. There are some stream crossings on his route but given the forecast, getting wet is to be planned for so wade on through.
For the adventurous folks Alpine Cascades in Gorham (accessed from Berlin WWTP) road. This is off trail but mentioned in older guides. The Cascades are in a very tight cleft in the rocks so it dos require some moving around to get views in to the falls. The view down the hydro dam over the former Cascades on the Androscoggin is impressive and there is always a chance with high flow that the river is dumping over the cascades.
Various Randolph water falls - The stream adjacent to Valley Way is nice short trip.
The falls on Pinkham B road, its trail so those future redliners might as well bag it when the water is running.
I expect others will have a few suggestions.
