Description
Clarendon Gorge Upper Falls is a nice little waterfall and swimming hole in Clarendon, Vermont. The waterfall features an 8-foot drop and can be found along the Mill River, right next to the Bob Brugmann Suspension Bridge. Although some waterfalls can be found along seasonal brooks, the Mill River flows strong year-round. This makes the waterfall great to visit year-round considering it is often roaring.
Accessing the waterfall is quick easy and quick. The waterfall is located in the Green Mountain National Forest right along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. There is a dedicated parking area off VT-103 and from the trailhead, the falls are just over 300 feet away. It takes just a minute or two to view the falls. The falls can be viewed from above by standing on the Bob Brugmann Suspension Bridge. Additionally, explorers can bushwhack down to the base of the falls. Be careful because the terrain is steep.
