Moss Glen Falls

A multi-tier waterfall in the valley northeast of Stowe, reached by a short walk of about 15 minutes along a forest path, especially photogenic during the foliage season.

Moss Glen Falls lies about 8 kilometers northeast of Stowe, within C.C. Putnam State Forest. The stream descends in several tiers from the rock face into a deep pool, with a total drop of about 36 meters. From the parking lot, a gentle trail crosses a wetland on a wooden boardwalk, reaching a viewing area below the falls in about 15 minutes. A steeper path also leads to the top of the falls. Water flow peaks in spring during snowmelt, and the autumn foliage makes the scene most beautiful. The rocks are slippery, so do not climb on the falls.
