Nearby Spots
- Salmon Hole (West River)Swimming HolesJamaica State Park beach on the West River—USGS 01155500 is the same town reach as the published gage note; not depth at your feet.View Guide
- Hamilton Falls1.5 mi awayWaterfallsSwimming is not recommended. Hamilton Falls is a dramatic Jamaica waterfall reached by a real forest hike from the Ball Mountain Dam side of Jamaica State Park. Expect slick rock, strong currents, and a much better viewing-first experience than a casual swim stop.View Guide
- Townshend Dam5.1 mi awaySwimming HolesTownshend Dam is one of the more practical remaining Southern Vermont water pages because it combines a known public site with broad river access and a more approachable setup than many secretive local holes. It works well as a warm-weather river page if kept honest about flow, crowds, and conditions.View Guide
- Townshend Pool6.6 mi awaySwimming HolesTownshend Pool is another broad southern Vermont river-access page that complements Townshend Dam without feeling like the same exact stop. It is useful as a river-day page with honest public-facing value and a scout-first posture.View Guide
