Conway Water Visits
The preserved Conway archive says only 'See site information above.' It does not name three recoverable swimming entrances. Diana's Baths is a real, separately identifiable Lucy Brook destination, but neither its saved place record nor nearby Echo Lake proves the original three-site inventory.
Visit Diana's Baths for its documented trail and cascades
The Forest Service places the trailhead at 3872 West Side Road and describes about three-quarters of a mile along the Moat Mountain Trail to the cascades. Use the fee-site lot; roadside parking is prohibited. The accessible trail approach is not a surveyed accessible water entry, and current scenic and picnic information is not a blanket invitation to jump or swim in every basin.
Choose Echo Lake if swimming is the purpose of the trip
Echo Lake State Park at 68 Echo Lake Road in North Conway explicitly offers swimming and picnicking. It is a separate lake beach, not a pool inside Diana's Baths. Its current day-use rates are $4 for ages 12 and older, $2 for ages 6 to 11 and free for ages five and younger; check the park's senior discount and reservations.
Check facilities and pets for the exact destination
Diana's Baths has no potable water. Its page says toilets are open in current conditions but also contains a conflicting generic restroom block, so verify that day's toilet service. Echo Lake's pets restriction runs May 1 through October 31; permission on back trails does not include the lake beach.
Check the named destination before travel
Getting There
Use the Forest Service Diana's Baths lot at 3872 West Side Road for the documented scenic trail. For an explicitly supported swim, plan the separate Echo Lake State Park at 68 Echo Lake Road.

Frequently Asked Questions About Conway White Mountains Swimming Holes
Does this record establish three Conway swimming entrances?
No. The surviving archive has no named three-stop list. Do not substitute three generic Saco River pullouts.
How far is Diana's Baths from its trailhead?
The Forest Service describes approximately three-quarters of a mile along the Moat Mountain Trail to the cascades. That is not a three-quarter-mile round trip.
Can we park on West Side Road if the lot is full?
No. The Forest Service prohibits roadside parking at Diana's Baths. Use its designated fee-site lot or return when space is available.
Does an accessible trail mean accessible swimming?
No. The documented accessible approach does not establish an accessible water entry, safe basin depth or permission to jump.
Where does the state explicitly support a Conway-area swim?
At the separate Echo Lake State Park, 68 Echo Lake Road in North Conway. Its beach, admission rules and facilities are not part of Diana's Baths.
Can dogs use Echo Lake in the summer?
Pets are not allowed at Echo Lake from May 1 through October 31. The park's permitted back-trail areas do not make its lake or beach dog-friendly.
