Kings Hill Brook Falls

From the junction of VT Routes 36 and 108 S in the town of Bakersfield, follow Route 108 south for two and a half miles, then bear to the right onto Lost Nation Road (which is sometimes marked on maps - including Google Maps - as Goat Path Road. Just over one-tenth of a mile down Lost Nation Road it makes a sharp bend to the left (continuing straight will reconnect to Route 108) as it crosses Kings Hill Brook. Park here and find an unmarked but fairly obvious path into the woods which descends down to the falls in a few hundred feet - the final descent down to the creek is steep and can be slick when wet.Kings Hill Brook Falls is a fairly significant waterfall found where its namesake stream is spat out of a concrete box culvert beneath an old road, which then immediately horsetails down a 30 foot cliff into a dark glen. Sitting on the side of the cliff adjacent to the falls is a large slab of what appears to be concrete which likely cleaved off of the retaining walls along the road above many years ago. Enough time has passed that it has grown a healthy coating of moss which helps to mask its man-made origins. Kings Hill Brook is a small to modestly sized stream, draining from a basin which covers approximately 3 square miles upstream from the falls. While the falls will appear more impressive in the wet season, because of how the water falls over the bedrock and its relatively constricted nature, it should still maintain enough visual poise in the dry summer months to remain a scenic attraction.
