Trail Finder: Moss Glen Falls

Moss Glen Falls cascades about 125 feet through a gorge on Moss Glen Brook. From Stowe village, go north on VT 100 for 3 miles and bear right onto Randolph Road. Turn right onto Moss Glen Falls Road and drive about half a mile to the parking area. Follow the brook upstream on the trail, which uses bog bridging over wet ground. At a fork, the left branch climbs a steeper, rooty path to a viewpoint above the falls, and the right branch follows the edge of the stream to the base. Return the same way.
