Pike River Falls

Pike River is a politely large watercourse, and when it hits a ravine that was once a lot utilized for hydropower in Berkshire, the falls are exceptional! This falls essentially has three main drops. By the road there is a first thrust of about 20' that forms the upper falls. The river continues to flow around a small bend and then hits a 10' block waterfall that forms the center falls. There are quite a lot of beautiful old mill bits and pieces in this top falls area. The river then continues down into the gorge approximately a bend, before the lower falls. Don't believe that these aren't worth traveling downstream to see, because they are the main and best falls of the series. The lower falls is a 30' two-tiered thrust that is an overwhelming sight in high water with huge boulders and a nice pond below. Overall, this falls is stunning, falling at least 80' from the upper falls to the end of the inferior plunge. Truly one of the best of Vermont!
