Hamilton Falls: Vermont Waterfalls

This is one of the best waterfalls in Vermont. To reach it, Route 30 to West Townshend and go north on Windham Hill Road about 4.3 miles. Turn west on Burbee Pond Road for a a mile and west on West Windham Road. Drive for about 2.8 miles and look for a  a small sawmill on your right just after a sharp bend to the right. The short trail is on the other side of the road.

This falls slips between a worn channel in the rock in a spectacular fashion. Be very careful, this can be a dangerous place as evidenced by the sign which is there. (See image below).
