Good fit, skip, and before you go

Good fit

Quick waterfall detours
Low-time Southern Vermont stops
People comfortable with rough footpaths

Skip

You need a formal trailhead
You want railings or developed overlooks
Mud or ice makes steep little paths feel sketchy

Before you go

  • Park in the roadside pull-off and follow the rough path downhill about 100 feet.
  • The best view is elevated rather than right at the base.
  • Watch footing, especially after rain.
  • Keep expectations on the small side in lower water.
  • Use caution around the lip and do not scramble for a lower angle.
