Very easy hike over boardwalk. Beautiful falls. You can also climb up the falls to see more. Parking is available. Sign is small so make sure to pay attention.
The half-mile trail starts on a boardwalk in an overgrown meadow full of aromatic colorful flowers and ends in a forest path uphill to an overlook platform. The falls cascade down a rocky slope and the nimble visitor can climb up near the crest for a different view. The trail is accessible from a small parking area on River Road near Thundering Brook Road, and it intersects the Appalachian trail just below the falls.
Totally fun. Very hard to find. Take route 4 then turn onto River road, there is a white sign on the corner that says Recreational and town offices. Follow River road all the way till you pass the rec center and a small white town building, both will be on your right. Just after you pass the town office building there will be a very small dirt parking area on your left that fits about four cars. The parking area is not well marked not are the falls. From the parking lot you can see the boardwalk. Follow the boardwalk to the falls. The falls are beautiful and there are a bunch of cool hiking trails. Went with two kids age 5 and 7.
Mostly level boardwalk across marsh, then some easy uphill to the lower end of the falls, sixth highest in Vermont.
The write up of the falls is over rated, more of a slanted river with water cascading down. The path leading up to the falls past by brush lands.
If you happen to be traveling through Sherburne, Vermont, you must see these falls.Absolutely breathtaking. A nice walk on a boardwalk across marsh and wildflowers galore.
Mother Nature entertains at this spot. This is a great stop for lunch along the Appalachian Trail......
Our waiter suggested going here. You walk on a raised wooden walkway almost to the falls and then it an easy hike the rest of the way. It was fascinating to see the water wander down the rock wall. Turn on River Road off of Highway 4, go past the town library and city offices and go maybe a mile on a gravel road.
We ended a hike on the Appalachian Trail at the falls. Incredible scenery from the foot of the falls, and a nice short stroll on a raised deck through a wetlands meadow with lovely flowers.
What's around the falls is interesting too. The red house at the base of the falls was once owned by an architect who installed a spillway pipe some time in the 1950's to generate electricity. Climb up the falls 200 feet and see the engineering at work. Hike the road back to Kent Pond and you'll discover a home inspired by what appears to be Frank Lloyd Wright. All in all, a fun walk in tree covered bliss.
