Getting there
Crystal Falls is a small waterfall with a swim pool on West Hill Brook just below the Creamery (West Hill) Covered Bridge in Montgomery (not on the Trout River mainstem). From the junction of VT 118 / VT 58 / VT 242 in Montgomery Center, take VT 118 north for 2.9 miles, turn left onto West Hill Road, drive 2.6 miles, then turn left onto the unmarked Creamery Bridge Road. After 0.6 miles you reach the covered bridge. The swim pool and falls are immediately downstream; follow the path with the brook on your left to the base.
