Getting there
From the VT 116 / VT 17 junction in Bristol, follow Lincoln Road (Gap Road) east about 1 mile. Park in the legal roadside pull-offs on the right; the falls and pool are immediately below the road. The Circle Current pool sits a short drive further up Lincoln Road if the main area is full.
