Nearby Spots
- Big Falls1.9 mi awayWaterfallsBig Falls is the short-trail gorge stop on the Missisquoi River at Big Falls State Park, with big water, steep gorge walls, and one of the strongest waterfall payoffs in northern Vermont. The lower river can invite wading and cooling off in gentler conditions, but this is still a powerful river corridor that needs conservative judgment whenever the water is elevated.View Guide
- Jay Branch Pools3.1 mi awaySwimming HolesJay Branch Pools are a lower-key Northeast Kingdom brook stop built around the clear Jay Branch corridor, with cold running water, rocky shelves, and a much less structured feel than the better-known northern Vermont swim holes. It is best approached as a scout-first local river page: easy to cool off in the right conditions, but too lightly formalized to treat like a managed destination.View Guide
- Trout River Falls13 mi awaySwimming HolesTrout River Falls is a Montgomery swimming hole where two short falls drop into a vivid green pool locals also call Three Holes. The pull-off is tiny and the last approach follows the river itself, so save this one for low water and scout every move before you commit.View Guide
- Jay Branch Gorge14 mi awayWaterfallsJay Branch Gorge is the more dramatic waterfall-style page in the northern Vermont Jay Branch corridor, with a tighter gorge feel and more visual payoff than the softer brook pages nearby. It is still a scout-first NEK coverage page, but it gives the catalog another real northern gorge stop.View Guide
- Four Corners Swimming Hole2.7 mi awaySwimming HolesBugbee Brook at VT-101 Four Corners—dirt lot across from Jay cluster; USGS Missisquoi is basin trend, not pool depth.View Guide
- Longley Bridge14 mi awaySwimming HolesLongley Bridge is a Vermont swim-access page in the Northeast Kingdom with a covered-bridge NEK pool page with easy legibility and cleaner local-coverage value than a generic roadside stop. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
