Four Corners Swimming Hole near Troy: informal river swim access—confirm posting, parking, and manager guidance locally.

Bugbee Brook is a small cold mountain-fed stream in Orleans County; pools below ledges near the Four Corners rope-swing stretch deepen and quicken after rain while staying wadeable in many summer spells.

Troy and Jay sit in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom north of Newport; VT-101 links the Four Corners stores to Lowell and the Canadian border country—expect farm edges, logging trucks, and winter-hard road surfaces.

Songbirds, ducks, and anglers may share the corridor—give wildlife space and follow leash rules where posted.

Riparian trees and shrubs stabilize banks—stay on durable surfaces and avoid cutting new paths.

Pack out trash, respect private land and farm edges, and follow trail or town posting. Orleans County and the town of Troy set local road and recreation rules—check notices before you go.

Jay Peak Resort runs its own access and parking policies separate from this informal brook; Orleans County publishes general recreation and highway notices worth scanning in summer.
