Readsboro Falls is a 15-foot waterfall on West Branch Deerfield River in Bennington County, Vermont, in the Northeastern Highlands region. It lies about 9.8 miles northeast of North Adams and roughly 41 miles east of Albany as the crow flies.
At 15 feet it is on the modest side for Vermont, where the typical waterfall with a recorded height stands around 30 feet; it ranks 119th of 158. By form it is a plunge, where the water drops vertically and loses contact with the rock face.
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.
