Nearby Spots

Trout River Falls1.7 mi awaySwimming Holes
Trout 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
Crystal Falls2 mi awaySwimming Holes
Crystal Falls is a Vermont swim-access page in the Northeast Kingdom with a Montgomery swim-and-falls page with bridge-side access and a classic clear-pool, lower-waterfall payoff. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Jay Branch Gorge4.3 mi awayWaterfalls
Jay 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
Longley Bridge4.3 mi awaySwimming Holes
Longley 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
Four Corners Swimming Hole12 mi awaySwimming Holes
Bugbee Brook at VT-101 Four Corners—dirt lot across from Jay cluster; USGS Missisquoi is basin trend, not pool depth.View Guide
Jay Branch Pools13 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
