Dead Creek Falls is a 30-foot waterfall on Dead Creek in Franklin County, Vermont, in the Northeastern Highlands region. It lies about 4.3 miles east of Saint Albans and roughly 146.6 miles north of Schenectady as the crow flies.
At 30 feet it is taller than the typical Vermont waterfall of about 30 feet, ranking 74th of 158 with a recorded height. By form it is a block waterfall, wider than it is tall, spilling over a broad ledge.
The Northeastern Highlands are the mountains of northern New England and the Adirondacks, with spruce-fir on the summits and northern hardwood forest of maple, beech and birch below, and countless lakes and boulder-strewn brooks. Fast mountain streams drop over granite and gneiss ledges in chains of falls and pools.
