Hamilton Falls, Cascading waterfall in Jamaica, Vermont, United States.
Hamilton Falls features a 125-foot drop over three distinct tiers, with water from Cobb Brook flowing through a narrow gorge in pine-hemlock woodland.
The trail to Hamilton Falls follows a former wagon road that transported cargo to the railroad during the industrial development of Vermont's West River Valley.
The Hamilton Falls Natural Area spans 211 acres and represents Vermont's commitment to preserving natural water features for public recreation and education.
Visitors access the falls through Jamaica State Park, hiking three miles on West River Trail and Switch Road Trails with limited parking options.
The waterfall forms several large potholes along its descent, with the main cascade dropping between 40 and 50 feet into a substantial collection pool.
