Hike at Lye Brook Falls in Manchester Ctr, VT & Optional Visit to Chocolatorium

Hi everyone! I am planning a hike at Lye Brook Falls in Manchester Center, VT. The hike will be a moderate, 4.5-mile out-and-back hike with an elevation gain of 925ft. The featured photo is one that I took during a previous visit. There are some very scenic views! Dogs are welcomed at this location, but must be kept on a leash. For those interested, there is also a hidden gem chocolate shop called The Chocolatorium less than 20 minutes away from Lye Brook Falls. The shop sells truffles, fudge, ice cream, and other goodies. Feel free to join me there after the hike!

Please bring the following gear for this event:
Water (at least 3 bottles)
Shoes (Hiking shoes)
Insect Repellent
Snacks (as needed)

Parking for Lye Brook Falls is located along Glen Rd, which is a dirt road. The road allows for ample parking. Please refer to the map pin for driving directions. Although I don't anticipate parking to be an issue, I cannot guarantee that there will be enough spots, and for those bringing guests, please carpool!

The Chocolatorium is located at Village Peddler and Chocolatorium: 261 Old Mill Rd, Arlington, VT 05250. Their website can be found at https://www.villagepeddlervt.com/

Plan to arrive at Lye Brook Falls for 10:00am. When I arrive, I will post a comment in the comments section to confirm my location. We will wait 15 minutes for friends to gather before starting the hike. I have allocated 5 hours for this event (including the Chocolatorium visit), but we may finish sooner and will travel at our own pace. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you are concerned about the difficulty of this hike. I want friends to feel comfortable and assure that our pace won’t leave anyone behind.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to send me a message or post a comment below and I will reply. I will be keeping a close eye on the weather throughout the week. This event will be subject to change depending on weather conditions.
