Swimming Holes in Vermont
85 Sites Found Public & Accessible Land
Vermont's swimming holes run down granite and slate gorges carved by the same rivers that cut the Green Mountains. Warren Falls on the Mad River near Waitsfield is the most visited: a natural waterslide series and multiple pool levels in a granite canyon, walk-in only. Bartlett Falls in Bristol has a cold deep pool at the base of a cascade. Texas Falls in the Hancock area has deep gorge pools in the Green Mountain National Forest. The White River near Rochester has multiple swimming spots in the upper valley. Vermont's best holes are on National Forest land — no fee, no crowds outside peak summer weekends.
Always check current conditions before visiting — water levels, algae advisories, and access roads change seasonally. Never swim alone in remote sites. Tell someone your plans. Explore all swimming holes on the Trek4Free map →
