Nearby Spots

Trout River Falls10 mi awaySwimming Holes
Trout River Falls is a Montgomery swimming hole where two short falls drop into a vivid green pool locals also call Three Holes. The pull-off is tiny and the last approach follows the river itself, so save this one for low water and scout every move before you commit.View Guide
Jay Branch Pools12 mi awaySwimming Holes
Jay Branch Pools are a lower-key Northeast Kingdom brook stop built around the clear Jay Branch corridor, with cold running water, rocky shelves, and a much less structured feel than the better-known northern Vermont swim holes. It is best approached as a scout-first local river page: easy to cool off in the right conditions, but too lightly formalized to treat like a managed destination.View Guide
Jay Branch Gorge13 mi awayWaterfalls
Jay Branch Gorge is the more dramatic waterfall-style page in the northern Vermont Jay Branch corridor, with a tighter gorge feel and more visual payoff than the softer brook pages nearby. It is still a scout-first NEK coverage page, but it gives the catalog another real northern gorge stop.View Guide
Big Falls13 mi awayWaterfalls
Big Falls is the short-trail gorge stop on the Missisquoi River at Big Falls State Park, with big water, steep gorge walls, and one of the strongest waterfall payoffs in northern Vermont. The lower river can invite wading and cooling off in gentler conditions, but this is still a powerful river corridor that needs conservative judgment whenever the water is elevated.View Guide
Jeff Falls11 mi awayWaterfalls
Jeff Falls is another northern Vermont named waterfall page that gives the catalog more coverage in a region already rich with small brook features. It fits best as a modest scenic stop with authority value.View Guide
Green River Falls13 mi awayWaterfalls
Green River Falls is a lower-key Hyde Park waterfall with a short-stop feel, a wooded brook corridor, and enough payoff to matter for Lamoille County coverage. It is better as a small waterfall outing than a destination swim page, especially when recent rain makes the brook louder and the approach softer.View Guide
