Through the woods

Diana's Baths, outside of Bartlett, New Hampshire, USA, is a series of waterfalls.

According to Place Names of the White Mountains by Robert and Mary Julyan, the origin of the name comes from this:

"These curious circular stone cavities on Lucy Brook originally were known as the Home of the Water Fairies; tradition says evil water sprites inhabited the ledges, tormenting the Sokokis Indians until a mountain god answered the Indians' prayers and swept the sprites away in a flood. But sometime before 1859 a Miss Hubbard of Boston, a guest at the old Mount Washington House in North Conway, rechristened them Diana's Baths, presumably to evoke images of the Roman nature goddess. The pools are also called Lucy's Baths."
