Queechee Gorge, Woodstock VT | |
| The Ottaqueechee River carved this straight-as-an-arrow gorge along a fault line in the bedrock. It's easy to view right from the highway bridge, or you can take a short hike right down to the raging waters. | ||

While in Woodstock, Vermont, take a spin over to Quechee Gorge (that's KWEE-chee), 8 miles to the east of the town on US 4. The highway bridge carries US 4 right across the picturesque gorge; below, the Ottaquechee River slips swiftly between boulders and jagged rock walls. The Grand Canyon it's not, but pretty? Definitely. For the best view, follow the signs to the viewpoint north of the highway, or enter Quechee State Park, on the east side of the gorge, and take the short hiking trail down to the edge of the gorge. The walk will take 15 minutes, one way. There's camping and picnicking right next to the gorge at Quechee State Park. |
