Getting there
The Gold Brook Swimming Hole is a small Stowe-corridor brook pool directly under the Gold Brook Road bridge, just before the intersection with Gold Brook Circle. From VT 100 (Waterbury Road) south of Stowe village, turn east onto Gold Brook Road and drive a few hundred yards to the small bridge; park legally on the wide shoulder only and drop down the steep dirt embankment to the pool. This is an informal roadside stop, not a developed swim area -- short, shallow pool, minor rope swing reported on the downstream side. Do not block Gold Brook Road or any driveway, and respect the adjacent private residences. Better Stowe-corridor alternatives: Foster's Hole on Notch Brook, Bingham Falls on the West Branch, or the Waterbury Reservoir day-use beach at Waterbury Center State Park.
