Mud makes rough side paths uncomfortable

Before you go

Use the roadside trailhead without blocking the hydro-station gate.
From the trailhead, short paths lead to views of the dam and lower falls.
A black tower marks the rough path to the more impressive lower section.
Expect rough footing near the base.
The trailhead is actually in New York, but the falls are shared by New York and Vermont.

Nearby Spots

Old Marsh Pond Cascades3.2 mi awayWaterfalls
Old Marsh Pond Cascades is a Vermont waterfall page built around Marsh Pond Wildlife Management Area access and an approximation-first outlet-stream pin.View Guide
Cotys Hole6.4 mi awaySwimming Holes
Cotys Hole is a smaller southern Vermont pool page with local-use value and more authority than search-demand. It belongs in the catalog as a scout-first ledge pool rather than a flagship swim stop.View Guide
Gully Brook Falls7.1 mi awayWaterfalls
Gully Brook Falls is a smaller Poultney-side waterfall page that helps round out southern Vermont waterfall coverage beyond the best-known names. It should stay framed as a lower-profile brook-falls outing rather than a marquee swim or tourism stop.View Guide
Horses Heaven9 mi awaySwimming Holes
Horses Heaven is a Vermont swim-access page in the Rutland County with a Deep Rocks-adjacent local pool page with a separate pull-off and a stronger alternative-stop feel than a flagship destination. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Proctor Falls14 mi awayWaterfalls
Proctor Falls is the easier-viewing name for the hydro-altered Sutherland Falls corridor in Proctor, where Otter Creek drops through old marble-town industry and a small public park setting. It is better as a quick scenic stop than a pure natural waterfall hike, but it still adds a different kind of Vermont waterfall story with almost no walk required.View Guide
Dead Creek Falls16 mi awayWaterfalls
Dead Creek Falls is a lower-demand Addison County waterfall entry that still helps the catalog feel geographically fuller. It belongs as a modest named stop with honest expectations.View Guide
