Vermont is lousy with stunning waterfall and cascades, but there’s one in particular that stands out as among the state’s most dramatic. Moss Glen Falls is a well-known waterfall that deserves every bit of its renown. In fact, you might even want to call it Vermont’s very own Niagara Falls. Here’s how to visit this awesome spot.
Moss Glen Falls is located in the Putnam State Forest in Stowe.

The water can get pretty chilly, even in the summer, so it’s the perfect place to refresh yourself on a hot day.

If you intend to explore the area right around the falls, be sure to wear shoes with adequate grip. The rocks can get slippery!
