Lake Seymour Beach9 mi awaySwimming Holes

Big Falls12 mi awayWaterfalls
Big 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 Pools12 mi awaySwimming Holes
Jay 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
Big Falls Eddy13 mi awaySwimming Holes
Big Falls Eddy is the safer swimming access below Big Falls of the Missisquoi, which makes it a strong non-waterfall swim page in a corridor people already search for. It is a smart way to cover the area without sending people to the dangerous upper viewpoint.View Guide

Lake Willoughby North Beach14 mi awaySwimming Holes
Lake Willoughby North Beach complements the South Beach page with another real public-access NEK swim option that people can actually use and place. It belongs in the catalog because it is practical, public, and genuinely useful.View Guide
