The Outbound: Bartlett Falls

Bartlett Falls is a 15-foot block-style waterfall on the New Haven River with a large swimming pool, on property owned by the Town of Bristol per New England Waterfalls. Turn east onto Lincoln Gap Road from VT 116 about a mile north of Bristol. The falls are visible on the right side of the road about a quarter mile from VT 116. Park only in the small pull-offs at the west end of Lincoln Road. The sources do not describe the path from the pull-offs down to the pool.

Lincoln Road (Lincoln Gap Road) pull-offs east of VT 116 near Bristol, view of Bartlett Falls beside the road

The Outbound places the falls about a quarter mile along Lincoln Gap Road from VT 116, visible from the road. That is a driving distance, not a walk. No source gives a walking distance from the pull-offs.

Rock ledges and a deep pool. The site is very crowded on hot days.

Where to start

A few small pull-offs at the west end of Lincoln Road, which often fill by noon on weekends. A Bristol town ordinance bans parking with any part of a vehicle on the road pavement; police issue tickets and cars far onto the road can be towed.

Timing & water

New England Waterfalls suggests May to October.
