Thundering Brook Falls

Description

Thundering Brook Falls is a gorgeous and super tall waterfall located in Killington, Vermont. The waterfall has a total height of 125 feet and it can be found along Thundering Brook. The brook flows strongest during spring when the snow melts and after heavy rainstorms. Although it is best to explore the waterfall in the spring, Thundering Brook Falls is a great spot to visit year-round. The waterfall itself drops in a unique formation consisting of lovely horsetails. Photographers often can be found with tripods at the base of the falls taking long exposure shots.

Visitors can park along River Road and then hike 0.4 miles out-and-back to the falls. The trail to the waterfall is actually the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. The section of trail leading to the waterfall is well-maintained and is perfect for families looking to do some exploring. Dogs are also allowed on the trail and through the entirety of the Green Mountains.
