Simpson Brook Falls is a waterfall on Simpson Brook in Caledonia County, Vermont, in the Northeastern Highlands region, with a total height of about 45 feet. It lies about 3.1 miles south of Saint Johnsbury and roughly 99.4 miles north of Manchester as the crow flies.
At 45 feet it is taller than the typical Vermont waterfall of about 30 feet, ranking 53rd of 158 with a recorded height. The water comes down as a cascade, descending over a series of rock steps rather than in a single drop.
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.
