Quechee Gorge, Quechee

A beautiful sight when you see it from the bridge but it gets better once you see from beneath! There is a trail leading to bottom of the gorge through the woods (a 10-15 min walk) and the views from there was amazing. We went there during the summer but believe it would have been even better during fall with the foliage. There is a visitor center too and the hike to the gorge from the road was lovely too.

This is an amazing sight to behold any time of the year. But if you go during the leaf peeping season you will find it difficult to maintain personal space. With that said it's still worth going to see. Parking is abundant but you will have to walk to get a good view. If you take the trail to the lower end of the gorge, it will consume about an hour of time and it's all up hill on the way back. So people with bad knees or problems walking long distance should probably experience the gorge from the bridge. The upper end can be driven to and a short walk to the dam. There are some bathrooms but things these days are weird and I can't understand why a bathroom would be closed but they are. Paved and gravel parking with plenty of handicapped access.

There is a spot on the bridge to look out and take pictures. However, I'd highly recommend doing the walking paths if you get the chance. They aren't too bad of hike and provide some beautiful views of the dam and gorge.

Must stop here! Came on Saturday, October 15. The gorge is beautiful! You can walk onto the bridge and view the gorge from there. The sidewalk on the bridge is narrow and can get crowded but it's worth the wait to some pictures. There's parking nearby and also at the visitor center. Highly recommend this stop!

Vermont's deepest gorge was formed by glaciers about 13,000 years ago. A trail leads through the woods beside the rim to the bottom of the gorge, where you can see the lower part of it from water level. The trail downstream (Ottauquechee River) is well maintained with few benches to Sit and relax - especially while returning back. Overall it takes around an hour to and fro. We visited in summer but many fellow reviewers have posted pics of fall season that was also looking so beautiful. There is a nearby gift shop offering some good VT souvenirs.
