Nearby Spots
- Lye Brook Falls0.5 mi awayWaterfallsSwimming is not recommended. Lye Brook Falls is a tall seasonal Manchester waterfall reached by a moderate forest hike in the Green Mountain National Forest. Expect a longer walk than Vermont's roadside falls, slick rock near the base, and the strongest water after spring runoff or recent rain.View Guide
- Dorset Quarry5.4 mi awaySwimming HolesFlooded marble quarry on Route 30—waiver, seasonal hours, cold deep water; no USGS gauge for the pool.View Guide
- Mad Tom Brook Falls5.8 mi awayWaterfallsMad Tom Brook Falls is a southern Vermont waterfall page that adds local depth in a corridor better known for broader scenic travel than specific waterfall stops. It should stay framed as a modest brook-falls outing.View Guide
- Stetson Hollow Falls6.9 mi awayWaterfallsStetson Hollow Falls is a smaller southern Vermont waterfall page that works mainly as authority coverage and local itinerary depth. It belongs in the catalog as a modest named stop, not as a flagship destination.View Guide
- Noname Hole8.6 mi awaySwimming HolesNoname Hole is a Vermont swim-access page in the Batten Kill Valley with a Kelly Stand Road swim stop with a named local-hole identity and a classic southern Vermont back-road feel. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
- Grout Pond9.2 mi awaySwimming HolesGrout Pond is a Vermont swim-access page in the Green Mountain National Forest with a pond-and-beach page with a ranger-road arrival and a more relaxed forest swim feel than a classic river hole. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
