Description

Bingham Falls is an easy and worthwhile hike in between the town of Stowe and Stowe Mountain Resort.

It’s especially good on a warm summer day when you’ll enjoy the shade of the forest and the cold water of the creek.

Even on days that are too chilly for swimming, lots of people come to admire the waterfall and spend time in the forest.

As with any hike in the area, it’s also excellent for foliage in the fall. The main waterfall at Bingham Falls is about 40 feet high, and it plunges into a large, clear pool.

The water then cascades through a miniature gorge, over many smaller waterfalls and pools.

The trail goes downhill from the road to the creek; it’s mostly easy-going but has stone stairs and roots in some places.

Beware of slippery spots all along the trail, but especially the rocks near the water’s edge. Sources: https://www.stowelandtrust.org/conserved/properties/binghamfalls/
