Before you go

This page is built around wildlife-area access and an approximation-first cascades pin.
Use only obvious public access and existing footpaths if present.
Conditions around the outlet stream can be wet and brushy.
Skip it if access feels unclear or posted on arrival.
This stop works best as a short exploratory detour.

Carver Falls3.2 mi awayWaterfalls
Carver Falls is a cross-border Vermont waterfall stop with a confirmed trailhead and short paths to multiple viewpoints.View Guide
Cotys Hole3.2 mi awaySwimming Holes
Cotys Hole is a smaller southern Vermont pool page with local-use value and more authority than search-demand. It belongs in the catalog as a scout-first ledge pool rather than a flagship swim stop.View Guide
Gully Brook Falls5.5 mi awayWaterfalls
Gully Brook Falls is a smaller Poultney-side waterfall page that helps round out southern Vermont waterfall coverage beyond the best-known names. It should stay framed as a lower-profile brook-falls outing rather than a marquee swim or tourism stop.View Guide
Horses Heaven7.4 mi awaySwimming Holes
Horses Heaven is a Vermont swim-access page in the Rutland County with a Deep Rocks-adjacent local pool page with a separate pull-off and a stronger alternative-stop feel than a flagship destination. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Proctor Falls10 mi awayWaterfalls
Proctor Falls is the easier-viewing name for the hydro-altered Sutherland Falls corridor in Proctor, where Otter Creek drops through old marble-town industry and a small public park setting. It is better as a quick scenic stop than a pure natural waterfall hike, but it still adds a different kind of Vermont waterfall story with almost no walk required.View Guide
Goslant Falls14 mi awayWaterfalls
Goslant Falls is a lower-profile Pittsford waterfall page that helps deepen Rutland County coverage beyond the best-known names. It works best as an honest regional waterfall stop rather than a flagship tourism page.View Guide
