Nearby Spots

Punch Bowl Swimming Hole0.7 mi awaySwimming Holes
Punch Bowl Swimming Hole is the better-known private-access Mad River Valley swim page with real local history and strong word-of-mouth awareness. It needs a careful posture because the access norms are different from public river corridors, but it is still one of the most important remaining swim pages in the valley.View Guide
Lareau Swim Hole1.2 mi awaySwimming Holes
Mad River off Route 100 near Waitsfield—short approach, cold water, mixed waders and jumpers, busy fair weekends.View Guide
Mad River Path – West Greenway1.7 mi awaySwimming Holes
Meadow Road trailhead—multi-stop Mad River greenway; USGS Moretown trend is valley-wide, not depth at one entry.View Guide
Joslin Falls2.3 mi awayWaterfalls
Joslin Falls gives the Mad River Valley another named waterfall entry beyond the biggest-known swim pages, and it fits well as a short waterfall add-on for people already in the valley. It should read as a regional waterfall page, not a replacement for the marquee river holes nearby.View Guide
Warren Upper Pools4.6 mi awaySwimming Holes
Warren Upper Pools are the calmer ledge-and-pocket pools above the main Warren Falls drops, giving you the same Mad River corridor with a little more room to spread out. They are still slick, still river-driven, and still not a casual high-water swim, but they can work as the scout-first alternative when the main falls feel crowded.View Guide
Mooretown Beach6.3 mi awaySwimming Holes
Mooretown Beach is one of the better remaining valley-style river entries because it reads more like a broad local access point than a one-pool niche page. It adds useful Mad River corridor depth without competing directly with the most famous names.View Guide
