A roughly 20-foot tiered falls on the Mad River about a mile and a half south of Warren along Route 100, dropping in steps of about 7, 10, and 3 feet. Its sculpted potholes, deep pools, and a natural waterslide make it a popular summer swimming hole.
At 20 ft, it stands above roughly 12% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Mad River. You'll find it in Washington, Vermont. It is protected within Green Mountain National Forest.
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Because it sits right off the road, it makes an easy stop on a longer trip and works for visitors with limited time or mobility. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.3 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Warren, the closest town.
When to go: Summer low flow for swimming (Jul-Aug). Like most waterfalls, Warren Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
