The deer leap trail is a moderate hike in the Green Mountain National Forest of Vermont. The trailhead is located just off of Route 9, about 2 miles north of the town of Manchester. The hike is a little over 2 miles long, and it's a popular trail for locals and visitors alike.
The trail begins by crossing a small stream and then climbs steadily uphill through a mixed hardwood forest. The views from the ridge are spectacular, with vistas of the Green Mountains to the east and the Taconic Range to the west.
The trail then descends steeply to Deer Leap Falls, where you can take a break and enjoy the view before continuing on your way. The hike then winds its way back to the trailhead, passing through a beautiful hemlock forest along the way.
This is a great hike for anyone looking for a moderate workout with some beautiful scenery thrown in for good measure.
