Cady Falls Swimming Hole near Morrisville: informal river swim access—confirm posting, parking, and manager guidance locally.

The Lamoille River runs north through Morrisville’s Cadys Falls reach with ledges, slicks, and wadeable shelves; after storms the main channel carries more wood and force while side eddies still look deceptively calm.

Morrisville and Hyde Park share the Lamoille Valley floor between Hardwick and Johnson; Route 100 and the river railroad corridor define access, with farm fields and village streets tight to the banks.

Songbirds, ducks, and anglers may share the corridor—give wildlife space and follow leash rules where posted.

Riparian trees and shrubs stabilize banks—stay on durable surfaces and avoid cutting new paths.

Pack out trash, respect private land and farm edges, and follow trail or town posting. Vermont River Conservancy and town recreation boards sometimes post workdays or temporary closures along the Lamoille—check before you go.

Lamoille County planning and Morrisville municipal pages publish flood notices, bridge work, and river-access reminders that can shift where parking feels appropriate.
