About 140 feet of cascades on Thundering Brook near Killington, often cited as one of Vermont's tallest waterfalls. A roughly 900-foot accessible boardwalk leads to the falls, forming the first universally accessible section of the Appalachian Trail in Vermont.
Its 140 ft drop is taller than about 82% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
The falls are fed by Thundering Brook. It lies in Rutland, Vermont. The site is on public land managed by Green Mountain National Forest / Appalachian Trail.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. The nearest town is Killington.
When to go: spring through fall. Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
