Nearby Spots
- Bartlett Falls3.2 mi awayWaterfallsLincoln Road falls near Bristol—roadside New Haven River pool; cold water, slick rock, high swim risk if you enter.View Guide
- Bristol Falls3.2 mi awaySwimming HolesLincoln Gap Road New Haven River context—same river as Bartlett Falls waterfall guide; USGS 04282525 is Brooksville main-stem proxy, not gorge pool depth.View Guide
- New Haven River Upper Pools3.2 mi awaySwimming HolesNew Haven River Upper Pools are the quieter river pockets upstream of Bartlett Falls, with ledgy shelves, small slides, and a less concentrated feel than the main plunge area below. This is still a New Haven River visit, so flow changes matter, and the reward comes from scouting the calmer pockets rather than committing to the busiest jump lines.View Guide
- Bristol Memorial Park Falls4.6 mi awayWaterfallsBristol Memorial Park Falls is a compact Bristol gorge waterfall with a bridge-side view and enough visual punch to deserve its own page beyond nearby Bartlett Falls. It is a short-stop waterfall guide, not a swimming page, and it works best when framed as a quick but worthwhile Addison County add-on.View Guide
- East Middlebury Gorge8.7 mi awaySwimming HolesVT-125 Otter Creek gorge context—swim not recommended in guide copy; USGS 04282500 is basin proxy only, not pool depth inside the gorge.View Guide
- Warren Upper Pools11 mi awaySwimming HolesWarren 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
