Parking lot only holds about 10 cars. Short hike into a deck overlooking the falls but there are multiple trails on the way down from the small parking lot and it is easy to get confused as to which direction to take. The falls have a nice lookout over them.

Good trip. We arrived at approximately 5:45 pm and made our way to the entrance of the trail. The beginning of the trail consisted of a pre- made wooden walkway that was very easy to walk on. The rest of the trail consisted of walking on dirt, however the trail was very flat and did not have many inclines/declines. The waterfall in itself was very nice, and there was even a small platform built at the end of the trail that provided for a great photo opportunity.
Tip: I recommend spending 30 minutes here if you truly want to see everything.

It took us a half hour to find this trail and we were less than 3 miles away. The website said it was at the intersection of routes 4 and 100. But there are 2 places where it intersects and river Run Road is closed. You have to go to the intersection closer to Woodstock. It is about a 1/4 mile away from the Killington town building down the closed dirt road. The trail is mainly a flat wooden boardwalk. Then up a small hill. About 1/3 mile each way to a nice waterfall

The trail is Uber accessible and the distance is short. The falls are beautiful, we were there right after a rainfall.

This is a great little hike. Its on a boardwalk and the walk is short to a beautiful waterfall area. Well worth it! Their are other trails off of this one as well that you can take.

Perfect for my husband who is in a wheelchair. Able to get off road and see the falls and even able to take a picture of him on the Appalachian Trail!!

Nice walk on sturdy decking...so nice we went twice , before and after a rain storm.... the thunder ⚡ was much louder!!!! You can climb up higher to the top of the falls if you're adventurous.

A nice easy walk to beautiful falls. Lovey views of the surrounding mountains and lush green valley. There were pretty wildflowers along the path.

No. This is definitely a take photos, admire, and walk about Waterfall.
Would this be open in the beginning of February? Or just warmer months?

Thanks Wayne179, we visited the Falls in Oct and the water level was pretty low... so yes, Spring following the snow melt would be much more impressive...

Alternatively, the address may be: 2295 River Rd, Killington, VT 05751. Again, put it into Google Maps first before trying to drive there. Check out the satellite view and you should be able to see the parking area and the boardwalk that leads to the falls.

It is on River Road in Killington VT. There is not a specific address as far as I know. You will see it off the road b/c it is a boardwalk platform connecting the Appalachian Trail. Lasts about half mile. Beginning is wheelchair accessible, end is not. There is an historic mill at the end

how long a walk or hike to the falls

I would say it was approximately 1000 feet. An easy walk since it is mostly on a boardwalk, then a slight hill leads to the actually waterfall. It was a nice little stop
