A gorgeous waterfall hike in Green Mountain National Forest.

The Lye Brook Falls Trail is a 4.7 mile hike through scenic trails just outside of Manchester Center, Vermont. The trail is open year-round, but the best time to go is during spring blooms or to see the fall colors. This hike is family friendly and fun for all ages. Dogs are allowed on this trail, but bring a leash!

When you get to the falls, look for the giant rock - this is the best place to take pictures.

Hike the Lye Brook Falls Trail

11/22/20

This is a great trail for families and dogs. It's well marked and easy, with a few ups and downs that will get your heart pumping. The first part of the trail travels next to Lye Brook with great access to the water. There is not easy access to the water at the falls - pools are small and hard to reach. The best time to view the falls is in the spring after the snow starts melting. Be on the lookout for mushrooms and red efts in the trail!

Hike 'The Merck'

Of the 10 trails at The Merck, The Wildlife Trail is a great hike through the forest that offers you the best way to see wildlife, streams and tracks. You can do the whole hike as a loop in about 2-2 1/2 hours or shorten it up with some shortcuts if you just want a quick hike. Great for family given the moderately slopping terrain it's best in the winter when wildlife tracks are prominent. M...

Hike Around Lake Shaftsbury

Lake Shaftsbury State Park is a small park in Southern Vermont between Bennington and Manchester. It is well-loved by locals as swimming spot in the summer, especially for families with kids. Less well known is the nature trail that meanders around the perimeter of the lake. While only a mile in length, this lovely trail is quiet and perfect for bird watchers. The trail begins at the far end...

Hike Hamilton Falls

The hike to Hamilton Falls is an enjoyable 6.8 miles roundtrip voyage through gorgeous forest scenery alongside a babbling brook. Be sure to visit the upper and lower falls! This trail is kid and dog friendly, so why not bring both?! If you are visiting the falls in the summer, bring a towel and a swimsuit to enjoy the swimming hole at the base of the falls. We recommend taking the trail to t...

Woodford State Park Loop

A great loop for the summer, Woodford is also amazing when winter winter comes to the State Park. It also comes earlier than just about anywhere else in Southern Vermont. At 2,400 feet above sea level, this is an easy spot to find winter without spending a fortune at the local ski resorts. Woodford State Park is only a ten-minute town from the town of Bennington, but it's usually about 10 degre...

Hike the White Rocks Ice Beds Trail

This 1.6 mile round trip hike starts from the Ice Beds parking lot in the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont. The trailhead is close to the parking lot entrance, following the blue-blazed trail. Be sure to read the signs, as the far trailhead is a hike to the cliffs, not the ice beds. After crossing over a brook, the trail climbs several switchbacks to the top of a knoll at 0.2 miles. ...
