Getting there
Cox Brook Cascades sit on Cox Brook in Northfield Falls. From I-89 exit 8 in Montpelier, follow VT 12 south 7.9 miles into Northfield and turn right onto Cox Brook Road at Northfield Falls village. The cascades are about 0.2 miles west of the VT 12 junction, on the right, roughly 150 feet after passing through the first two of the three Cox Brook covered bridges. The falls are partially visible from the road; short use-paths on what is believed to be private land drop you to better views.
