Terms of Use

New England Swimming Holes is an independent guide project for outdoor places in New England. It is not a government, town, park, rescue, landowner, or emergency service website.

The site is provided for general informational and editorial use. Conditions, access, parking, posted rules, water levels, weather, and local restrictions can change without notice.

You are responsible for your own decisions, safety, route choice, swimming ability, and compliance with posted signs, private-property rules, and local law.

You may sign in to save places to a private account. You are responsible for activity under your account.

Do not use the site to trespass, break rules, collect private information, interfere with access, harm the site, or encourage unsafe, illegal, disrespectful, or harmful behavior.

We may remove accounts, saved places, or submitted material if needed to protect the site, users, landowners, local communities, public access, or the guide project.

If you send us photos, videos, captions, tips, corrections, or other material, you confirm that you have the right to share it.

You keep ownership of your content. By submitting it, you give New England Swimming Holes permission to review, store, edit, crop, resize, publish, display, and use it in connection with the website, guides, emails, social channels, and related editorial or promotional work.

Do not submit content that infringes someone else's rights, violates privacy, reveals sensitive information, or was created where photography or sharing was not allowed.

Credits, payments, assignments, contests, giveaways, or special usage limits must be handled separately in writing.

We are not required to publish, credit, pay for, or keep any submitted material unless we separately agree to do so.

The site may link to outside maps, agencies, gauges, social posts, articles, or other sources. We do not control those sources and cannot guarantee that they are accurate, available, or up to date.

We try to keep the guides useful, but we do not guarantee that any page is accurate, complete, current, safe, available, or suitable for your trip.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, your use of the site is at your own risk.

We may update these terms as the site changes. The effective date above shows the current version.
