Embark on an easy hike along the Bingham Falls Trail, a short 0.5-mile (0.8 km) route that takes about 16 minutes to complete. You will gain 136 feet (42 metres) in elevation as you make your way through lush greenery and past moss-covered rocks. The path leads you directly to the spectacular Bingham Falls, where water plunges over 40 feet into clear, often turquoise pools. You can explore both the top and bottom of the falls, observing the unique rock formations carved by the winding river.
Plan your visit to the Bingham Falls Trail between May and October for the best conditions, especially in autumn when the foliage is vibrant. The descent to the base of the falls can be steep, wet, and slippery, so be sure to wear sturdy footwear with good tread for your safety. This trail is dog-friendly, but remember to keep your pet on a leash at all times. There are no specific permits or fees mentioned for this short hike, making it an accessible option for a quick outdoor escape.
Located within Vermont's Smugglers' Notch State Park, the Bingham Falls area is known for its impressive geology. The unique rock formations and the way the river has carved the landscape offer a fascinating glimpse into natural processes. This trail provides a refreshing break and a chance to connect with nature, making it a popular spot for those exploring the wider Smugglers' Notch region.
