Description

Warren Falls is a heavily-used observation site on the Green Mountain National Forest with high cliffs, fast water, deep swimming holes, and multiple footpaths. Acquired by the Forest Service in 1998, this area has a history of heavy use from locals and tourists, where one of the more popular activities is jumping off cliffs into swimming holes. Short loops provide access to various viewpoints and the Mad River. The river is cool and refreshing and the area’s beauty makes it worth visiting despite the crowds and parking challenges.

Other Information

  • DO NOT PARK illegally on Vermont State Route 100. Parking on the highway puts motorists, bicyclists and visitors to Warren Falls at risk.
  • PETS must be leashed at all times.

  • DO NOT BUILD ROCK DAMS in the river - Warren Falls supports numerous aquatic organisms. When rocks are moved and dams built across the river can negatively impact their habitat. Please leave things where they occur naturally -- this is their home.
