Granville Gulf Reservation protects 1171acres on either side of a six-mile section of Vermont Route 100 in Granville, Vermont.[1] The area is managed by the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation and traverses the Granville Notch.
The land extends about 7 mi (11 km) along the streams, from the border of Addison County with Washington County south to about a mile north of the town of Granville. It includes the 80-foot Moss Glen Falls, which is visited by a short walk off Route 100.[2] The Moss Glen Falls Natural Area is a 5-acre state-designated Natural Area.
A 20-acre old-growth stand of red spruce and hemlock has been designated as the Granville Gulf Spruce-Hemlock Stand, a State Natural Area.[3]
In 1928, former governor Redfield Proctor Jr. donated the first 900 acres of the site to the state. Additional purchases were made in 1942 and 1952.
