The forest is located in the Worcester Range, part of the Green Mountains, and includes Mount Hunger, Mount Putnam and Mount Worcester.[3] All the land above 2,500 feet elevation is designated as Worcester Range Natural Area, an area of 4,032 acres.

An 80-acre section in Stowe is designated as the Moss Glen Falls Natural Area (Stowe) and features one of the highest waterfalls in the state, with a total drop of over 100 feet.[4][5][6]
