Beautiful walk to the river bed, you can see the reflection of the Quechee gorge bridge in the river if you walk down close to the riverside. The gorge view from the bridge was also beautiful, but water level was low. Traffic was bad here due to the closure of one lane on the bridge for construction.

Me and my Family have been going here since we moved to this area in 2017. It is a nice peaceful place where you can explore nature and meet some great people as well! The staff are kind and they really care about the Park and take care of it well. It looks great with the new additions! It is always clean and the people who visit here are respectful and pick up after themselves. Dogs are welcome 🐾 even in the Visitors Center! They also have some pretty neat things you will learn inside along with a penny press machine 🪙 We enjoyed today so very much, as this was our pups 1st time here and everyone was so welcoming, friendly, kind, and even enjoyed seeing our puppy have the time of his life 😊 What a beautiful gem this place is 🙏 Thank you for taking such good care of this place so we can enjoy it each year ❣️

Very clean and well kept state park. We loved that there was a trail down into the gorge and to the visitors center. Beautiful scenery and close to silver lake State Park for swimming.

This place was incredible and I would love to come back. The campgrounds were clean and well maintained. The staff was very kind and helpful. I felt very safe here and I wasn't worried for the safety of my children (not all state parks are this secure or family friendly). The gorge is incredible and the swimming area is family friendly and worth the walk.

The dam and waterfall were ok to see, but you cant get close because of safety concerns. The gorge is about a half mile hike, but worth it. You can go swimming, i recommend bringing some sort of watershoes. Lots of sharp rocks. Very quiet. Fun for all ages

Stayed here for 4 nights. Stayed at site 11. Sites were well spaced out and very well maintained. Facilities were also very well maintained. Shout out to the VT state parks staff who do the upkeep. Also… everybody respected the quiet hours. It was silent before 10 pm.

The state park campground was excellent. Very clean and well maintained sites. There are no electric sites, but that wasn't a problem. I just brought a small battery pack to charge phones and stuff. The sites were spacious and deep. The gorge itself was lovely to see. We hiked a couple trails and enjoyed the views. Not a place I'd stay for a week, unless you just want to enjoy the peaceful vibe of the campground. Otherwise, 3 days was plenty to look around and see the local sites.

Just popped in to see the gorge. The staff is super friendly and helpful both at the visitor center and campground. Easy trail to the gorge, directly in a little city though so there’s lots of noise pollution. There’s also litter and graffiti along the trail so you’re not as tucked into nature as I would have preferred.

We visited Quechee Gorge for a hike with our dog. From the visitor center along US-4, a trail led to the gorge trail where a left turn led about half a mile to the base of the gorge. I scrambled out on the rocks for a nice picture of the gorge and bridge. We also hiked upstream (right turn at the start) to follow the trail to the dam and Mill Pond Falls. On the way back to the, we took the pedestrian paths to the bridge for views of the gorge from the middle. Overall, a beautiful gorge, "Vermont's Grand Canyon" with some nice, easy hikes to great views. Definitely worth a stop if visiting the area.

Very nice location. Got to love the natural beauty of the gorge. The trails throughout are fairly easy to navigate and it is a family friendly destination. The gift shop is pretty nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. Now the negative, again, what the heck is with building dams on waterfalls?!😡 Ticks me off! Not only does the building make things look to industrialized, there's no true observation deck to view of what remains of the falls. All you get to see is mainly the top 50% of them. This time of year, even makes it a bit more difficult to view with all of that foliage in bloom, because they have a fence keeping people back, because of the dam and building. But, the view from the bridge, on both sides of the gorge, is great 👍
