Before you go

This falls is also known as Sutherland Falls.
Flow is hydro-altered and can look very different from season to season.
Use the small park access and keep clear of utility or industrial areas.
The value here is the easy stop and local history context.
Treat it as a quick pull-in, not an all-day destination.

It belongs in the catalog as a stronger Rutland County waterfall page, not as a casual swim-first stop.View Guide
Cotys Hole8 mi awaySwimming Holes

Clarendon Gorge11 mi awaySwimming Holes
Lower Clarendon Gorge on FPR land—swim not recommended in guide copy; USGS 04282500 downstream proxy only, not turbulence inside gorge pools.View Guide
Dead Creek Falls10 mi awayWaterfalls

Gully Brook Falls12 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
