Getting there
Tinker Brook Cascades are short cascades on Tinker Brook inside the Tinker Brook Natural Area, a 109-acre state-designated natural area in Plymouth, Windsor County, off VT 100 just north of Plymouth Union. Vermont Forests, Parks and Recreation manages Tinker Brook as a protected old-growth hemlock and red spruce stand; there is no maintained trail to the brook itself, and the natural-area rules ask visitors to view the gorge from the road corridor rather than scramble down. Treat this guide as a roadside / viewing stop, not a swim. Stored county reads Rutland on some sources and Windsor on others -- Tinker Brook Natural Area sits in Plymouth, Windsor County, and that is flagged for the taxonomy pass. For a real Windsor County swim or waterfall stop, Twenty Foot Hole in Reading and Silver Lake State Park in Barnard are the area's stronger choices.
