Beautiful reflections in the falls.

Known as Vermont's Grand Canyon, you get a splendid view of the gorge from the road bridge. You can also park up your bike and take the hiking path to explore it further and go for a swim in the summer.

Taftsville Covered Bridge was opened in 1836 and is very well maintained. You can also walk down onto the river bank to get a lovely view of the river crossing from below. There are information boards which provide further information about the wooden bridge's history.

The Quechee Gorge Bridge overlooks the Quechee Gorge, which is also known as "Vermont's little Grand Canyon." This deep, mile-long chasm was formed during the Ice Age, by the melting waters of a receding glacier about 13,000 years ago. This bridge offers a great view over one of the state's most stunning natural wonders; you can gaze down at the Ottaquechee River flowing through the gorge from over 168 feet in the air! This bridge is a great place to begin or end your walk in the Quechee State Park.

The Carriage Barn Visitor Center is open from 10am-5pm, Memorial Day weekend until October 31. The building was constructed on the foundation of a stable that the Billings Family originally erected in 1895 to house their horses and carriages. The main floor of this Visitor Center houses an exhibit Conservation Stewardship, a bookstore and a reading area, and restrooms. Park Rangers are there daily to answer any questions you might have. The Carriage Barn Visitor Center is a great place to stop by before exploring the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park.

The Pogue is a small, round, man-made pond with trails that circumnavigate it, located in Woodstock, Vermont, in the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. Be aware that there is no fishing or swimming allowed here. The Pogue covers about 14 acres (5.7 hectares) and is surrounded by forests and rolling hills, providing a peaceful and scenic setting for visitors. It was created in the1880s when an earthen dam was built and is rumored to be bottomless! The Pogue is a beautiful and popular spot and is a great destination in of itself, but also makes a nice addition to those climbing Mount Tom who are looking for a little extra milage.

Mount Tom stands at 1,357 in Woodstock, Vermont and is part of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. From the summit you get fantastic views of the town of Woodstock and the surrounding area. It is a popular destination for hikers and runners in the summer and snowshoers in the winter. This is a great place to sip some water, eat a snack, and take in the views, which are especially amazing in the fall when the leaves are changing from green to vibrant hues of yellow, orange, and red.

Some say this pond at Marsh-Billing-Rockefeller National Historical Park is bottomless. Unfortunately, you can't find out whether that's true because you're not allowed to swim here.
