Huntington Gorge, Waterfall and gorge in Richmond, Vermont.
The Huntington River splits into two branches at this natural formation, with the main cascade flowing through a narrow rocky channel creating multiple tiers.
Native Americans traveled through this area for thousands of years before settlers established mills along the river near the gorge in the 1830s.
The gorge became part of the Ondawa Girl Scout Camp in the 1950s, marking the beginning of structured rescue operations in this location.
Visitors must park in designated spots along Dugway Road and follow strict safety guidelines due to dangerous water conditions and steep cliffs.
The natural formation includes an 80-foot high rocky passage stretching 1.5 miles along the Huntington River through Vermont's bedrock schist.
