Follow VT 100 north from Stowe 3.2 miles to Randolph Road. Turn right and follow for 0.5 mile. Turn right onto Moss Glen Falls Road and follow for 0.5 mile to a small parking area.
This is a very short, but scenic hike to a spectacular waterfall. Although the trail is not well marked, the route is obvious. Follow the brook upstream to the falls. Be careful at the falls, as loose debris at the edge of the trail can be slippery and dangerous. Inexperienced hikers should stay to the left, above the falls. The trail connects to a vast snowmobile trail so be careful not to follow the wrong trail back.
Distance: 9 Miles | Time: 4.5 Hours | Difficulty: Moderate
