Roxbury Falls is a 20-foot waterfall on Dog River in Washington County, Vermont, in the Northeastern Highlands region. It lies about 5.6 miles southwest of Northfield and roughly 100.4 miles northwest of Manchester as the crow flies.
At 20 feet it is on the modest side for Vermont, where the typical waterfall with a recorded height stands around 30 feet; it ranks 94th of 158. By form it is a fan, spreading out horizontally as it falls and staying in contact with the rock.
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. Dog River carries 3 recorded waterfalls, and Roxbury Falls is the tallest of them.
