Getting there
Sugar House Falls is a small cascade on a brook in Shaftsbury, Bennington County, in the foothills east of the Batten Kill corridor. It is and does not carry a canonical entry in the main Vermont waterfall references; the surrounding banks are largely private. Expect a short roadside look from a allowed shoulder and a brief scramble where public access exists. The cascade runs best in spring and within a day or two of rain. For a developed Bennington County stop, Lake Shaftsbury State Park off US 7A in Shaftsbury and the Batten Kill pull-offs along VT 7A in Arlington and Sunderland are the area's stronger choices.
