Moss Glen Falls in Granville drops about 80 feet where Deer Hollow Brook joins Alder Meadow Brook, in the state-owned Granville Gulf Reservation beside VT 100. The falls are visible from VT 100. A short trail starts from the parking pull-off on VT 100, crosses a wide wooden footbridge and continues on a fairly level gravel path to a viewing platform. A news report said the footbridge was closed after flood damage and a replacement was planned; whether the trail is open now is not confirmed. Without the bridge, visitors were viewing the falls from the side of busy VT 100.
