Vermont is well known for its beautiful barns and bridges, but there are many natural wonders to be admired, too. Every town is filled with wonderful gems, most of them built by none other than Mother Nature. Check out 16 of the most incredible natural wonders in Vermont.

1. Quechee Gorge

Quechee Gorge State Park is one of Vermont’s most popular natural areas. The focal point of the park is the gorge that drops as far as 165 feet to the rapids of the Ottauquechee River. Quechee Gorge is one of the most scenic places to visit in Vermont.

2. Moss Glenn Falls

One of Vermont's natural wonders, you can pull over on Route 100 and get some great pictures.

3. The White River Ledges in Sharon, VT

The White River, one of Vermont’s last free-flowing rivers, flows undammed for 56 miles from deep within the Green Mountains, through the Vermont Piedmont, and south and east to the Connecticut River.

4. The Burled Forest

The Burlington Burled Forest is a small patch of woods located on a sandy bluff over the North Beach where Mother Nature has truly left her mark. Each tree in the woods sports burls (large bumps) all over their trunks. These burls were created by the fierce winds off Lake Champlain, which manipulate the fast-growing box elders into these warped and gnarly natural wonders.

5. Willoughby Gap in Westmore, VT

The most famous of the Barton area’s lakes, known for its steep, startling beauty and deep, cold water. Willoughby has free swimming at both the North and South ends. There are rentals from cottages, to inns, to fully furnished, upscale lake houses. There’s camping, boating, and miles of hiking trails, making it one of the most beautiful places in Vermont.

The Green mountains are possibly the most famous mountain ranges in Vermont. In fact, it’s so beautiful that the state of Vermont has nicknamed itself the "Green Mountain State," and for good reason!
