Getting there
This page stores a 'Mooretown Beach' slug, which is a misspelling of Moretown in the Mad River Valley. It appears to reference an informal river-access spot on the Mad River along VT 100B in Moretown. The well-known developed swim in Moretown is the Kenneth H. Ward Swimming Hole (also called Moretown Gorge or Big Rock) at 4806 VT 100B, which has a designated lot and stairs down to the river. Use that site instead unless you know a specific informal bank stop. For any other river pull-off along 100B, park fully clear of the travel lane, respect private farm land, and scout the water before committing; the Mad River rises fast after rain.
