Moss Glenn Falls, one of the most beautiful in all of Vermont, is located right off of Vermont's scenic Route 100 and is very easily accessible from the roadside. With 25-foot falls and a nice-sized pool beneath, there's no wonder why this waterfall is a Vermont favorite.
A lesser known, but certainly not to be neglected waterfall, is Big Falls located in North Troy. Although the falls don't drop from a precipitous height, the power and noise of Big Falls is deserving of its name. Access Big Falls from River Road in the town of Troy.
Another powerful and majestic waterfall, Bingham Falls is located in the Mount Mansfield State Forest. At over 40 feet, the mighty falls rip down the gorge into deep and round pools. You can access the falls from Mountain Road (Route 108) in Stowe.
Another stunning waterfall that can be found along Vermont Route 100, Warren Falls certainly doesn't disappoint. The falls feature large green-tinted pools and plenty of areas to explore. For the adventurous folks, cliff-jumping is something of a pastime at Warren Falls. Jump at your own risk and always remember to check the pools for depth and no obstructions.
Located in Ludlow, Buttermilk Falls is the perfect spot for summer days filled with swimming, cliff-jumping, and relaxing. The swimming hole and falls can be found right off Route 103 on Buttermilk Falls Rd.
What makes Thundering Brook Falls really unique is the rock pattern and flow of the falls as the water trickles down the myriad of natural stairs. The area is simply breathtaking, and there is a lovely boardwalk trail to reach the waterfall. You'll find the trail (0.5 miles) at 2295 River Rd, Killington, VT.
