First, it can get very crowded along the road (there is no official parking lot). Be sure to pack your patience. If you arrive mid-afternoon, more spaces near the entrance may open. Second, no public restrooms are available. So, plan accordingly. Third, the middle falls are easiest to access if you're here for a short time. Overall, it was a nice place for a quick visit. However, Buttermilks Falls are not as impressive as other Vermont locations with swimming holes such as Bartlett Falls or Warren Falls. The latter is particularly scenic with a high cliff jump that is for brave teenagers and adults only. The state of Vermont is blessed to have so many natural swimming areas!

We purchased some "maple malt balls", chocolate covered oreos and chocolate covered pretzel bacon bites (for my bacon-loving buddy...he spotted those as soon as we walked in). A dish of chocolate mint ice cream was wolfed down and received a hearty thumbs-up review. He's quite an ice cream connoisseur and was very impressed with his treat. There's some cool VT-centric kitsch available to purchase as well...I spotted a metal moose statue that I came very close to taking home...but there's no place for him to live at my house, unfortunately. Overall, a fun, delicious touristy place to stop.

She said "NO!" and turned away but telling me to look around the gift shop and if you see something I'll help you. I turned. Went out the door empty handed and very disappointed.

Driving this road should be on every body's bucket. Just leave the kids at home- you don't want the serenity interrupted by a chorus of AreWeThereYet.

It's Time to jump into The TimeMobile & scour the Earth & take you to places from a different time that you won't believe still exist. We have set the dial to the year 1974 on The Mohawk Trail in the town of Shelburne Falls MA. Located about 100 miles or so outside of Boston, we've landed upon a GIANT 20 Foot Tall Native American Indian Statue in Costume. This is called The Big Indian on The Mohawk Trail! Wow! Is this an Awesome RoadSide Attraction or What? The Humongous Statue stands next to a Cool Gift Store. He is Colorful & holds an Arrow in one hand & the other friendly hand is outstretched to great you. He has an Indian Headdress on his head & wearing Indian attire. It's Very Very Cool! These are the kinds of Kitschy offbeat places that were a fixture all along the roads of America decades ago. Sadly lots of them have seen the wrecking ball & are now rotting in a landfill. This one luckily has survived & was created by Mr Rodman Shutt who designed many Gigantic Statues. Some of his work includes Amos the Amish Farmer, the Boothbay Harbor Fisherman, the York Barbell Man, the Leather Guy, the Amish Couple, The Farmer with Pigs, Freeze & Frizz. He also built The Freeport Indian as well as figures for Dutch Wonderland. Shutt even produced several Santa Statues. He began crafting these Gargantuan Statues in 1960 in Strasburg, PA. These individualistic pieces were shipped & sold nationwide. Now the Big Indian Statue stands right next to Native Views a Gift Shop which was formerly called The Big Indian Shop. They have a lot of Cool Stuff in here, you've got to check out. There are also Tepees, a Bear, Horse, a Deer & a Smaller Indian Statues on the property as well. Since you are in the area you've got to stop by The Bridge of Flowers, The Glacial Potholes, the Town of Shelburne Falls, The Mohawk Trail & the Waterfalls.
