Getting there
From North Troy, follow VT 105 and turn onto River Road. Continue roughly 1.4 miles to the Big Falls of the Missisquoi State Park pull-off on the right (near 1382 River Road), with parking for about 4-6 cars on the dirt shoulder. Short footpaths lead to rocky gorge overlooks; stay well back from the cliff edges. For water access, use the separate Big Falls Eddy trailhead further south on River Road rather than descending from the state park.
