A broad horsetail waterfall drops beside Route 100, with horsetail cascade and dark ledge shaping the visit A short boardwalk reaches a layered fall where Deer Hollow Brook spreads over dark rock into a shaded Green Mountain hollow. Its roadside convenience can hide real hydrology: flow, spray, ice, and vegetation change the composition throughout the year.
Use the designated pullout, stay on the boardwalk, and look for the smaller stream details instead of approaching the wet rock. Parking is limited beside a fast road, winter ice is severe, and climbing around barriers damages vegetation and risks a fall. A brief stop still deserves patient observation of water across the rock face.
