Central Vermont has numerous vacation destinations for any season, from ski resorts to waterfalls. And starting your visit off with a hike to Moss Glen Falls will set the stage for a great getaway to Stowe.
Moss Glen Falls lies within the C.C. Putnam State Forest near Stowe, Vt. This 125-foot-tall waterfall is the typical “horsetail” waterfall with several cascades down a steep gorge wall.
From Stowe, Vt., travel northeast for 4.3 miles on Highway 100, also known as Brownsville Road, then turn into Moss Glen Falls. You will arrive at the trailhead at a pull-off on the east side.
The trip to the falls is only a half mile from the parking area and trailhead. However, if you continue up an old snowmobile path, you’ll find a scenic overview of the Worcester Mountains.
