Texas Falls
A scenic series of pothole-plunge falls and emerald pools where the Hancock Branch cuts through a narrow gorge; a 1.2-mile nature trail loop and bridges overlook the falls in Green Mountain National Forest.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Green Mountain National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Texas Falls drops about 35 feet. That makes it the 505th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 26% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Texas Falls Nature Trail reaches it about 1.2 miles (loop) with roughly 70 feet of elevation gain, rated easy. The nearest town is Hancock. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Green Mountain National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions.
Spring snowmelt (Apr-Jun). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
