Where the Waterfalls Are
Newfane sits in or near the Southern Vermont and Connecticut River Tributaries area of Vermont. In southern Vermont, the Black, Williams, Saxtons and West rivers descend through rolling hills to the Connecticut River, and their falls are often close to villages and covered bridges. Buttermilk Falls in Windsor County, near Ludlow, is a cluster of cascades with swimming holes, and Black River Falls lies on the river of the same name. Windham County holds several small falls on the Saxtons River, recorded by USGS at heights under 20 feet, and Bellows Falls marks a historic drop on the Connecticut River itself.
