Before you go

Keep this framed as a corridor expansion page.
Use a conservative Tyson Road pull-off, not the water pin.
This area overlaps the Twenty-Foot Hole corridor, so expectations should stay modest.
Scout the pool and footing before stepping in.
If access feels muddy or unclear, skip it.

Nearby Spots

Twenty-Foot Hole0.6 mi awaySwimming Holes
Twenty-Foot Hole is a Reading swimming hole on the North Branch of the Black River, with three cold pools and a short walk from Tyson Road. Storm sediment has changed old jump depth, so scout every pool and treat it as a swim-and-wade stop, not a blind cliff-jump spot.View Guide
Felchville Falls1.7 mi awayWaterfalls
Felchville Falls is a roadside Reading waterfall that is more about honest coverage than blockbuster access, since the best-known view is partly from the road and the public approach remains limited. It still earns a page because it is a real named falls in a corridor that already matters to the catalog.View Guide
Cavendish Gorge5.4 mi awaySwimming Holes
Black River gorge near Route 131—USGS 01153000 is North Springfield upstream proxy; dam and utility corridors add hazard beyond any graph.View Guide
Brownsville Trail Cascade5.9 mi awayWaterfalls
Brownsville Trail Cascade is a Mount Ascutney state-park waterfall add with a real trail approach but only a trailhead coordinate confirmed for now, so this page should stay honest about the cascade location being approximate and hike-first.View Guide
Quechee Gorge Swimming Area14 mi awaySwimming Holes
Quechee Gorge Swimming Area is the easier gorge-bottom river access below the bridge and visitor center, with broad Ottauquechee River shallows, a dramatic cliff backdrop, and heavy summer foot traffic. It works better as a hot-day splash-and-wade stop than a secret swimming hole, and it is only worth it when you are ready for crowds, steep return stairs, and changing river depth.View Guide
Rainbow Rock Swimming Hole14 mi awaySwimming Holes
Rainbow Rock Swimming Hole is a Chester Williams River stop with big bedrock shelves, a deep main pool, and a very short walk from Green Mountain Turnpike. It is easy to reach and easy to love, but the rocky bank still deserves a careful scout before kids or dogs charge in.View Guide
