Moss Glen Falls is a 125-foot horsetail waterfall in Stowe, Vermont — actually two separate Vermont waterfalls share the name (this Stowe one is on the Stowe Land Trust property; the other is in Granville Reservation). The Stowe Moss Glen is reached via a 2.9-mile loop through the Worcester Mountains, with the falls cascading down a moss-covered ledge into a small pool. The fall foliage in the surrounding hardwood forest is among Vermont's best (peak mid-to-late October). Free access on Stowe Land Trust property; respect the maintained trail.
