About Moss Glen Falls
Moss Glen Falls is a 45-foot tiered in Vermont, on Deer Hollow Brook. The water falls in 3 distinct tiers.
It's fullest after rain, and flow can drop off during dry spells — plan around recent weather.
Plungeworthy rates Moss Glen Falls 7.5/10 — worth the drive. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
This is the classic Vermont roadside waterfall postcard shot: Deer Hollow Brook drops about 45 feet in a wide veil down an exposed rock face directly beside Route 100 in Granville Gulf, with an ADA-accessible railed viewing platform putting the whole drop in view within a few hundred yards of the car.
It's part of the Granville Gulf Reservation, a state-protected scenic corridor, and is genuinely one of the most photographed falls in the state given how effortlessly it's reached — no real hike required.
Don't confuse it with the taller, hike-in Moss Glen Falls near Stowe — same name, different watershed, different experience entirely: drive-up scenic overlook here versus gorge hike there.

When to go
A year-round drive-by stop; flow is strongest in spring snowmelt and after rain, thinner by late summer in a dry year. Fall foliage season is its busiest window given the Route 100 scenic-byway traffic.

Where it is
Before you go
