About Lana, Falls of
Lana, Falls of is a 32-foot tiered in Vermont, on Sucker Brook. The water falls in 5 distinct tiers.
It's fullest after rain, and flow can drop off during dry spells — plan around recent weather.
Plungeworthy rates Lana, Falls of 7.7/10 — worth the drive. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
Sucker Brook makes its final descent to Lake Dunmore through a genuinely elegant multi-tier system — five or six distinct drops of horsetails, slides, and plunges totaling roughly 124 feet — but the falls most visitors actually see is the main ~32-foot drop visible right from the old carriage-road trail, historically the site of a 19th-century dam for Silver Lake.
The setting is classic Moosalamoo National Recreation Area: a wide, well-graded former carriage road through mixed forest, easy underfoot, with the falls a short detour off the main route to Silver Lake. A genuine swimming pool sits at the base of the main drop.
For hikers willing to continue, the trail connects onward to Rattlesnake Cliffs with views over Lake Dunmore — Falls of Lana works equally well as a quick stop or the start of a longer loop.
