Wolfeboro Falls is a small place in New Hampshire, United States. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of a larger town, but they don't have their own separate local government. Wolfeboro Falls is actually part of the town of Wolfeboro.
This community is located in Carroll County. It sits about half a mile north of the main part of Wolfeboro. Wolfeboro Falls is special because it's on a narrow strip of land between two lakes. One side is Front Bay, which connects to the big Lake Winnipesaukee. The other side is Crescent Lake, which connects to Lake Wentworth.
A small river called the "Smith River" flows between these two lakes. It drops about 28 feet over its short course of about 0.3 miles. This drop creates the "falls" in Wolfeboro Falls.
