Before you go

Use the Clarendon Gorge parking area, not the water pin.
Expect this to be an upstream extension, not a standalone easy stop.
Scout everything carefully around the gorge.
This should stay hazard-aware and low-hype.
If the gorge feels off, turn it into a look-only outing.

Swinging Bridge2.1 mi awaySwimming Holes
Swinging Bridge is a Vermont swim-access page in the Rutland County with a Clarendon-area gorge-pool page with larger roadside parking and a more legible local-adventure setup than unnamed river pull-offs. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Marble Street Quarry9.2 mi awaySwimming Holes
Marble Street Quarry is a Vermont swim-access page in the Rutland County with a quarry swim page with a blocked-pull-off arrival and a stronger local-cool-off identity than a full park destination. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Proctor Falls11 mi awayWaterfalls
Proctor Falls is the easier-viewing name for the hydro-altered Sutherland Falls corridor in Proctor, where Otter Creek drops through old marble-town industry and a small public park setting. It is better as a quick scenic stop than a pure natural waterfall hike, but it still adds a different kind of Vermont waterfall story with almost no walk required.View Guide
Horses Heaven11 mi awaySwimming Holes
Horses Heaven is a Vermont swim-access page in the Rutland County with a Deep Rocks-adjacent local pool page with a separate pull-off and a stronger alternative-stop feel than a flagship destination. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Deep Rocks11 mi awaySwimming Holes
Deep Rocks is the best-known of the East Poultney roadside river spots, with a short path, deep clear water, and a stronger jump-and-hangout feel than many quieter coverage pages. It is still roadside and risk-sensitive, but it is one of the better remaining swim priorities in southern Vermont.View Guide
