North Conway Water Visits
The regional archive does not recover three named swimming stops. The saved Diana's Baths record is the same Lucy Brook destination used for Conway context, not three distinct Saco entrances or a survey of every North Conway pool. Plan a named destination instead of trusting the old count.
Make Diana's Baths a deliberate trail visit
Use the Forest Service lot at 3872 West Side Road and follow the Moat Mountain Trail roughly three-quarters of a mile to the cascades. The site has a year-round recreation fee and prohibits roadside parking. The documented trail approach does not certify accessible bathing, safe water levels or permission to slide down the rock basins.
Keep Echo Lake's beach rules separate
For a state-supported swimming visit, Echo Lake State Park is a separate destination at 68 Echo Lake Road. It offers swimming, picnicking and seasonal facilities with its own day-use rates and reservations. Pets are not allowed at Echo Lake May 1 through October 31, even though pets can use specified back trails.
Do not promise mountain-water purity or full services
Diana's Baths provides no potable water. Its current-conditions text says toilets are open, while a generic amenities block conflicts, so confirm daily operation. Check the actual beach advisory for Echo Lake; neither scenic clear water nor a historic report certifies today's bathing quality.
Check the named destination before travel
Getting There
Use current Forest Service Diana's Baths trailhead directions at 3872 West Side Road. For swimming, consider the separately managed Echo Lake State Park at 68 Echo Lake Road; no original three-entrance route is recovered.

No potable water is provided. The page's current toilet notice and generic amenities block conflict, so confirm the day's restroom operation.
