Getting there
Riverside Park is a small Warren town park on the Mad River in the village of Warren, Washington County, in the Mad River Valley. The park mixes a shaded lawn, picnic tables, and short paths down to the river, used by villagers and visitors as a low-key river hangout rather than a big swim. The water here is cold year-round, with shallow ledges and a few deeper pockets you can read from above; flow reacts fast to upstream storms, and the rocks stay slick. It is not a lifeguarded swim and is best treated as a picnic stop that happens to touch the river. For bigger Mad River Valley swims, the Warren Falls pools and the Punch Bowl south of Warren village, Ward's Access off VT 100, and the Moretown Gorge stairs at 4806 VT 100B are the stronger targets.
