With Lake Champlain around the corner and a networks of rivers and gorges throughout the state, there’s no shortage of ways to cool off at the end of the season. Explore our favorite swim spots during a late summer getaway.
Have fun and stay safe!
LONE ROCK POINT
Find your way just a couple miles north along the shores of Lake Champlain to Lone Rock Point. Climb up Lone Rock for a medium height jump into the water with a full view of the lake.
BRISTOL (BARTLETT) FALLS
Visit this beautiful 14-foot waterfall located on the New Haven River in Bristol. There are trails that lead to the cliffs next to the falls, where there is a rope swing as well. You can also enjoy river access to shallow water or at the base of the falls.

BINGHAM FALLS
Go enjoy this half-mile waterfall hike in Stowe, loved for its easy access, impressive geology, and photographic nature. This short hike leads to a set of cascading waterfalls and swimming holes that make the drive more than worth it.
BOLTON POTHOLES
Take a trip to Bolton to enjoy a series of three cascading waterfalls that each drop into their own pool. The third waterfall dumps into a narrow river channel, which creates a third pool with slower water flow. At the bottom, the large flat rocks create a perfect spot for sunbathing.

TRIPLE BUCKETS
Last, but certainly not least, make a half hour drive to Huntington Gorge in Richmond to jump in and swim around the cool green waters of Triple Buckets!
A GENTLE REMINDER
We always recommend bringing along friends! If you’re going to jump in, check for rocks, shallow waters, and currents before you do.
