Reviews of Quechee Gorge Bridge (Tourist Attraction)

Penelope Pollard

I always stop to see this beautiful place!

Virginia Andrews

Nice views great walking trails

Chris Perry

So beautiful here great view

Coach Kip

Amazing place. The Green valley and rushing water are amazing to see. And then you can walk down to the bottom of the gorge and walk out on a huge rock outcrop and swim in the river. Bring swim suits and water shoes and a waterproof camera.

Chris Penny

Pretty cool! Drove over it before knowing it existed. Had a snack and spoke with a local who lovingly called it "the hole"

David Lynema

Nice walking trail all the way down to the river bottom and up to the dam.

Sheila Adams

Nature shines thru, beautiful spot

Stephen McNally

Fence is too damn high.

Kitty Slaughter

It's a really really pretty gorge. Sucks there's a gate - probably worth going more in summer than winter, but still absolutely beautiful.

Susan C

Such a beautiful site. A must stop if you are there.

Benjamin Miller

The Quechee Gorge has always been a staple in my family's vacations! I always remember my mom and dad swinging me in between them as we walked along the trails when I was younger. This was always my mom's favorite place to walk

James Huguelet

Beautiful sightseeing stop. Park near the top of the bridge and walk over for a great view. Paths to the dam to the west and downstream to the east. If you walk down hill to the east you are allowed out on the rocks around the river and can swim in the river. The hill is fairly steep but there are many place to sit along the way if you need to catch your breath. Good balance a must on the rocks going down to and out on the river. We did not camp but camping is available very near by.

Eric Kirchmeier

Best place to view the Gorge.

Michael Sciberus

It's a bridge over a deep gorge. Nice views from the bridge, through the safety fencing recently installed.

xirettax

It's a great place to walk around. You will meet a number of people from different areas of the US. The gorge was beautiful because of the fall foliage. It would be more beautiful during the summer when one can play

Jason Steele

love the view

Aftab Usmani

Tranquil place. Has parking and food places.

Ironman

Beautiful! There’s not much to see other than the gorge unless you’re going hiking and such, but beautiful views!

Bryce Caster

Wow this is a steep gorge!! If you're driving to Woodstock, this is an easy 10-minute stop- park nearby and walk onto the bridge. If you have more time, you can hike to the bottom.

Peter Uliano

Awesome view and nice bridge with holes cut out in fence to take pictures on both sides.

Trisha Ford

Such a fun place to visit! Quechee Gorge was a fun family trip when I was a child and now I'm sharing the important places in New England with our children! Make sure to stop in the gift shop for memorable items for you and your family and or gifts for others!

Richard Fitts

It's a nice little walk and you can cool off down below in the water

Natalie Koffarnus

Gorge-ous... (Get it?) I didn't have time to do the nature walks which have a free narrated natural history talks with scan codes on your phone, but I want to go back so I can do that! I just looked at the gorge from the bridge you walk over

Jack Hao

Beautiful Gorge views

Anabel Moreno-Mendez

Beautiful place! Pull off the road and go for an easy home downriver!

Raquel Amit

Beautiful with good trails!

DJ Jiles

We love going there and eating at the snack bar every time we are in the area. Great view, awesome trails and and awesome river/stream

John Jasinsky

Fantastic well maintained trails

Kristen Harden

Absolutely gorgeous. Adorable town. Straight out of a story book.

Lisa Sindoni

There is a parking area on both sides of the bridge. A short walk to a very beautiful view of the gorge. Hang on your phone or camera when taking pics of the view, it's a long way down.

Annie Chen Andersson

What a gorgeous viewing spot! Easy to park and walk across the bridge and take in the dramatic views. Be sure that you are not afraid of heights though! When you’re driving across from New Hampshire to Vermont, definitely stop and take a look.

Chelsea

Beautiful, accessible views of the gorge just off the street. If you're visiting the area, this is an absolute must for nature lovers.

Mary Hickman

There are holes to take pictures of the scenery in the fence.

Jack Daniels

Had trails and a nice shopping center

Lisa Tebo

Beautiful views nice place to swim and cool off, awesome there, stores are nice.

Christine Bry

It's beautiful.

Jeremiah Cruz

Would visit again, doesnt matter where we reside!

Brittany Forthun

This was a great stop for the family. It wasn't just gorgeous, but it was fun to walk down to the bottom of the gorge and play on the rocks, although the hike back up was a different story, but that's probably because I'm out of shape haha. I do have to mention to be sure to keep an eye out for the traffic before you get on the bridge. The speed limit is 35 and should probably be lower as it seems no one follows it anyways.

Faith Peterson

Walked along the snow filled sidewalk today to look over both sides and it was beautiful to watch the snow fall on the tree line

Lian Yamouer

Gorgeous natural site.

Stacy Ross

Beautiful! Can't believe there's a cross walk across the highway and cars actually stop! Only one snack bar type place. Doesn't full service restaurant, just a couple other choices, like maybe a deli?

Erik Parker

Beautiful place. A Lot of snackbars. And great family time

Desi Mora

Very nice natural river gorge attraction by the side of the road. Plenty of parking and popular with travelers in the area. Free entry

Craig Cox

This was an awesome find You could take the trails view over the bridge no charge

Lakshmi

This was my first time visiting a gorge and it was breathtaking. I and my husband took a walk along the trail by the side of the gorge and even in cold weather we spent around an hour there. We went there in november beginning which is not the ideal time to visit since winter had already started. If you plan to visit, make sure you go during falls so that you get to see the magic fall colors do to gorge.

Caleb Fields

Awesome views. Short but rewarding walking trails. You can go right down to the bottom of the gorge

Jessica Broadway

This is a neat stop if you're going through this area. There's a short trail that goes down next to the gorge. It was very scenic, although short. The path is downhill at the beginning, so know that hill is waiting for you on the way back to your car!

Dillon Jackson

Very cool gorge with a hiking and biking trail, as well as a very cool museum with other attractions as well.

Anish Roy

One of the most scenic places I've ever visited in my life, come here late October and the scenery is something out of a fairy tale.

Winna Heilman

Gorgeous wayside stop that stretches your legs and wakes you up.

Sandra Fitch

Beautiful view.

brian swift

Cool gorge but fence obstructs views

kelly almasy

Had a great day hiking the gorge.

Richard Blunden

Saw this for the first time last year. Had to go to the bottom this year. Was not disappointed!

Sharon Warner

Great view. Great place for pictures. Just really cool to view.

Karla Olson

Easy hike down to the gorge - straight and wide path. Pretty and easy to get around. Visitor Center had plenty of information and background plus some fun trivia about the area and the gorge.

Melissa Noe

Great little town. Super hot day when we went so we will have to go back on a cooler day to check it out again.

Robert Kelley

Very simple and wide trails leading down to the water where one can walk and swim in certain areas. There are also several interconnected trails leading to local campgrounds.

Kathryn Hibbard

Its nice.

Kayla Caviness

Amazing stop on our trip.

John Goode

An absolute MUST visit. Short hike down (that is a little tougher on the way back up, but not too bad) leads to marvelous photo opportunities.

Raymond Clifford

They have installed a suicide fencing System that ruins the awe+fear inspiring experience!!!! Pictures of the #DumbDown later. Still worth the trip though.

Allen Branson

Beautiful view. Not as fantastic as what you find in the Rockies, but well worth seeing.

Matt Alsaker

Great hike along the gorge. Beautiful views.

Steve M.

Easy to see from the bridge....and many trails to hike as well.

jianjun0

Very nice views and walking trails along banks of the river. Highly recommend

Gretchen Howell

easy walk, beautiful and dramatic scenery but in a safe setting for kids who want to run around.

Jamie Tompkins

Good food and good people a perfect tourist destination.

Blacc Loc

I loved it. Swam there. A great sight to see.

Michael Smith

I love nature and this place is really out of the ordinary!

Rob Dumas

its a place to view . how far and how deep it is.

Walter Ferreira

Great place to visit while you can. I heard the state wants to fence the bridge due to jumpers / suicidal people, to me every life matters but fencing the bridge is only going to take the jumper to choose another venue or another way.

Ramanathan Vignesh

More than the view from the top of the bridge, the view from the bottom is great, it’s a 0.3mi walk with steep slope (walkable with kids/old adults) which is totally worth it! I went during fall season and hence you see the colors, but even or otherwise, the place is amazing!!

Mary Ruth Hambrick

Pretty little walk but because of vegetation the gorge is pretty hard to see..

Laura Beaudoin

The shops are fun and the view is beautiful. A little hard to walk across the bridge if you're afraid of heights.

James Perry

Vermont's Grand Canyon, indeed. Beautiful visit.

jeremy miller

Cool spot. Many people on the bridge but there are trails and stores expensive though

Marc Dallaire

Beautiful views. There's a parking lot nearby that makes visiting this easy

Mary Weldon

What a gorgeous place to visit

J. Smith

Gorgeous waterfall to enjoy & always crowded.

Josh Rem

Nice quick stop . Cool to walk across the bridge

Joe Phillips

Absolutely amazing and a must see if in the area!

Bart Hill

Great place for a nice, relatively easy walk. Beautiful views of the river and gorge. A lot of people swimming, though we didn't venture in.

David Klatt

Easy hike for the family and the views off the bridge are pretty nice

BoxDrop Mattresses

Beautiful even in the rain.

Bryan Kipke

Amazing views above the gorge and a great path down to the river. Worth a visit anytime but in the summer there is a great swimming spot.

Faith Kenfield

Amazing gem on the side of the road!! Great views and wonderful pictures. We went tr through there it was raining and just everything was awesome!! Its a quite five minute stop or they have a little gift/snack shop to stop and stay for minute.

Michael Castle

Unexpected rest stop have us a quite nice surprise. Deep gorge. Beautiful hike down to the water level.

Richard A Little

Quechee Gorge is just what it says it is, a spectacular gorge through which the Ottauquechee River rapidly flows. From the bridge, spanning the Gorge, one can take a dizzying look down to the rushing river and beautiful scenery 163 feet below or maybe opt to take an easy half hike through gorgeous woods to the river. Sufficient parking is available nearby. Additionally there is a very nice souvenir, gift and sportswear shop and a snack bar. The Quechee Gorge is a worthwhile, and probably brief, stop through the very picturesque Vermont woods.

Tammy Bosford

Very beautiful can't wait to go again next year

Jibrail Nor

My fiance found this place on our way home from New Hampshire. Beautiful views of the gorge. You can take several different trails around the park, some go to the bottom of the gorge where you can dip your feet in the water. Some people swim, not sure if you're supposed to. There's a visitor center with restrooms, a gift shop and a restaurant.

Melissa Meyer

Beautiful falls and trail along the river, underneath the gorge. Great hiking trails

Jim Dunham

Nice view, if I had more time I would have walked the trails.

April JONES

Beautiful view and hiking.

Arig Wageeh

Beautiful view and a camera slot for amazing pictures! We hiked the trail too! A wonderful place to pause and reflect on the beauty of our creator.

brent thompson

Very cool place to visit and hike. Maybe next time fit in some fishing

Ralph Farley

Good place to stop to check out the gorge. Parking available on both sides of bridge, visitor center on east side. Has various souvenirs and restrooms. Trail going to bottom and top of gorge, relatively short walk and well maintained trail. Also fairly steep coming back up from the bottom but worth the time. Other shopping options nearby as well. Can be a lot of people crossing the road so traffic does get backed up regularly.

kali casson

Beautiful trails, and viewing areas . dog friendly. With local eateries near by, its a great day trip with the family

Rock Strongo

The Gorge is absolutely stunning! Unfortunately the new fencing on the bridge totally screws up getting the best pics and videos. BTW, why the fencing?

LordDaneil

It's nice. There's a cool trail here, also some nice shops and food to eat. Very much worth a stop if you are in the area.

Robert Stavros

Easy access to see The Gorge quite interesting walk across the bridge in One Direction see the gorge and walk back across in the other direction and see the opposite side 163 ft deep 1 mile long cut during the last glaciation want a large glacial Lake broke through

randall norcross

Stood over the bridge. It was Breathtaking. There's a trail I want to hike down next time. Arrived late in the day.

Sunnypatch Bayou

We love walking the Gorge trail. We plan on going again during the leaf season.

Franklin Tejeda

What an amazing view!

Simone Wheeler

The view is awesome. It was better before they put a protective fence over there. Now you have little squared holes to have a better view and take pics. I also love the trail to the bottom of the gorge.

Linda Summers Stubbs

Spectacular views and easy hiking trails.

Jeremy Bittel

The hike is fun and great views!

Serendipitous Apostrophe101

Popular suicide Spot Great View however

Queen andScottforever

Amazing view, I loved it❤

Bud 937

Beautiful place to visit and hike, great for young kids. Exploring the woods is always fun, great views of the Gorge off the bridge and lots of free parking.

EP Vt

Easily accessible; not crowded; well maintained trails.

Jim Carlins

Beautiful view of the gorge. Souvenir shop and a snack bar with delicious ice cream.

Chris Stein

How does natural beauty not get 5 stars! Plenty of parking, hiking trails, swim spots, trinket shop and food and visitor center.

Matthew Powell

Good views through a chail link fence. It's a gorge with a river running through.

Karl Albert

Very nice view.

Raj kumar

Awesome views but less parking

Steven DeGangi

This is beautiful and amazing. For me visiting here again is after 50 years.

William Kerpka

Awesome senery and short walk in either direction

Marsha Hyatt

Perfect for a day hike. Not to be missed.

Dave Dugan

Incredible view with cheap food and gift shops and camping nearby. Can't wait to explore around this area.

Kopal Jha

Picturesque. Probably not the best thing for nature

lalalalalaimrightyourwrong

Wow amazing. You get to see such a great view of the gorgeous landscape here. You just park and walk down to the bridge and there it is such a beautiful view of the "Quechee Gorge" The way it's setup is safe , it's fenced in along the whole bridge both sides. Even the top rolls in as to deter anyone from climbing too far up. There are cutouts within the fence it allows for good snap shots if you're taking photos for memories of your trip. I recommend you stop by here if you're in the area. Also there is a nature trail next door. Parking is available.

Heather Skinner

Great view wish I had been able to take the time for a hike. If I am through the area again I will definitely make time for a hike.

Laurie Bacha

Great view, cool crisp water.

Joe Woidich

Cool spot, but only passing through. Would have loved to explore more.

Lisa Boucher

It's a neat quick stops and shops.

Kim Sorell

Awesome food. Good price for what you get.

Ivette Palacin

The Quechee Gorge bridge has a bittersweet history.

Kate Gillispie

We just walked across the bridge, which was pretty cool; didn't even know it was here until we got to the area. I suspect walking down the trail that goes below the rim would be much more impressive, but circumstances didn't allow that this time.

Brandon Ulatowski

The view off the Rt 4 bridge is really nice. A tall chain link fence was installed for suicide prevention which affects the view some, but small holes have been strategically placed for photo ops. The trails are wide, pretty flat and very easy.

Jessica Warren

Great place to see and explore!

Catherine Norman

Awesome hike and beautiful views.

Brajendra Patra

Falls not great but good for one time visit

Richard Liscinsky

Wonderful spot to view the gorge.

Christopher Croteau

Great views. Support the local gift shopping stores.

Walter Tarbox

Great place for pictures

Shari Henke

Beautiful views!

Kenneth Young

Nice and pedestrian friendly.

george aldrich

Very nice walk. Very nice views.

G Whitis Wing

Great gift shop with art by local artists.

Joshua Doonan

A very nice walk through the woods and along the river down to the rocks and water. Plenty of rocks to jump from and shallow pools to for all age groups to enjoy.

Elena Petrov

Beautiful view.

Cindy Galeote

Good view from bridge, nice walk

Lori Miller

What a beautiful view of the gorge from the bridge! It was raining when we were there but well worth getting a little wet to walk out to see it.

SERF

Beautiful part of the world. Well worth stopping for at least a photo or a walk along the gorge up to the dam - need good shoes as very slippery when wet. Plenty of parking on both sides of the bridge and nice cafes and gift shops to wander around. Enjoy!!

Doug Thurley

We stopped and looked at the breathtaking view from this bridge on one our scenic rides!!

Molly Maroney

Short hike, about a mile total. .5 down to the river bottom - nice swimming area - .5 back up the hill. Plenty of beaches to sit on. Nice view from the bridge.

Katherine Mayerovitch

The view is spectacular, and there are easy, scenic trails on both sides. If you're looking for a Vermont view easily accessible by your car, this is one excellent place to do it.

robert fitzpatrick

Gorgeous views. Nice trail. Little shops. Also there is a very adventurous walk along the gorge. Best time to visit Autumn. Plenty of parking. Fun for kids. Great place to photograph. Restrooms available. Located directly off main road. Small museum. Also a snack bar and restaurant in this location of the Gorge

Bob Rathbone

Beautiful! Gorgeous view. Well worth the stop

S Sanchez

This is a beautifully scenic area right in the middle of the town of Quechee. You can park at the gift shop and walk across the bridge to get a nice aerial view or you can take the trails going down to the bottom or up towards the reservoir. The trails are short, something like just over a half mile and fairly easy. My 73-year-old Mom did the one going to the bottom without any concerns (though I made her use her hiking stick). The trail is covered in foliage and there's a bench at the bottom for you to sit and enjoy the view of the rapids. Oh, and there's a visitor center even a campground down there as well. It makes for a nice little day outing.

Sravan Kanagala

For me, it was a nice place to relax.

David Longmire

What a beautiful place. I would like to see it again.

Brenda C Ortiz

Absolutely beautiful well worth the walk and being able to get in the water at the end of The Gorge was the perfect cap on the day. The people were friendly the area was very clean and the trails or clearly marked. Absolutely looking forward to visiting again well worth the trip absolutely absolutely absolutely

Rich

Everyone should have this experience love the trails

Leanna Keene

This place was breathtaking. The views in this area of Vermont are beautiful this time of the year. Leaves changing for fall.

Richard Hague

Beautiful view from the bridge. You can walk down to the water. Great family place to visit.

paige Davis

This place is gorgeous jaw-dropping views and a fun place to hang out with a gift shop Bakery and warm atmosphere I highly recommend to any tourist or even a local at that to come and see what the Earth has to offer at least once in their lifetime in this beautiful spot.
