Did you know that there’s a waterfall just outside of St. Johnsbury, Vermont that’s not as well known as many of the other falls in the Green Mountain State?

Emerson Falls is a part of Sleepers River and is surrounded by scenic landscapes. Although it’s not as popular as some of the other waterfalls in the state, Emerson Falls sits on private property and is an ideal destination for taking a photoshoot, going for a dip, and walking with your dog.

To reach Emerson Falls, take exit 21 off of 1-91. Once you reach these lesser-known falls in Vermont, feel free to leave your car in the parking area that’s about 200 feet from where the falls drop.

Emerson Falls is located very close to the charming town of St. Johnsbury.

The falls have a drop of 25 feet and are easy to reach from a path that's next to the Emerson Falls Business Center.
