Waterfall Hikes in Vermont (VT)
to explore
Vermont's waterfalls are fed by streams descending the Green Mountains and Taconic Range, cutting steep bedrock chutes and narrow gorges through mountain ridges, river valleys and the Lake Champlain lowlands. Hikes are largely moderate routes that follow forested ridgelines and river corridors, with a handful of short family-friendly paths and occasional ledge or canyon scrambles. The state is distinctive for intimate, forest-framed cascades on small mountain watersheds and pronounced seasonal flows from spring snowmelt and autumn rains.
