Vermont · Waterfalls
Falls of Lana
Swim: very limited; not appropriate at the main drops. Risk: high at main tiers; wading only in calm, shallow pockets you verify. Multi-tier falls on Beaver Brook from the Falls of Lana trailhead (Route 53) near Salisbury—real hike, cold water, slick stone.
Beaver Brook tiers near Lake Dunmore—limited wading, not a rope-off pool.

First Time Here
Park at the Forest Service Falls of Lana lot on Route 53 and hike the signed trail to the brook. The route is moderate by distance and footing—not a roadside dip.
Treat swimming as limited: many visitors stay at viewpoints or wade only in calm, shallow pockets they can verify. The full drop is hazardous.
Should You Go
Good for
- Hikers who want a classic Vermont waterfall walk from a developed trailhead
- Careful waders who stay in shallow, slow pockets they have assessed
- Brandon / Lake Dunmore visitors pairing a half-day hike with town errands
Skip if
- You want a deep, open swimming pool with easy entry
- You plan to jump from heights or swim in the main drop zone
- You dislike moderate grades and roots on forest tread
Site Note
Forest Service hours, restroom availability, and trail status change. This page is independent—read postings at the lot.
Map & Trail
Coordinates target the Falls of Lana parking area on Lake Dunmore Road—not the waterfall coordinates. Hike in on the signed trail.
- Roughly 1.5 miles round trip to the falls for many trip descriptions—confirm on site.
- High water after rain makes brook crossings and stone slicker.
