Before you go

Use the Moscow Road access area rather than parking at the water pin.
This is more lake-day than adrenaline page.
Shoreline conditions shift with season and water level.
Keep the route and access framing straightforward.
Treat the water pin as the swim area, not the arrival lot.

Nearby Spots

Cotys Hole4.7 mi awaySwimming Holes
Cotys Hole is a smaller southern Vermont pool page with local-use value and more authority than search-demand. It belongs in the catalog as a scout-first ledge pool rather than a flagship swim stop.View Guide
Gully Brook Falls7.8 mi awayWaterfalls
Gully Brook Falls is a smaller Poultney-side waterfall page that helps round out southern Vermont waterfall coverage beyond the best-known names. It should stay framed as a lower-profile brook-falls outing rather than a marquee swim or tourism stop.View Guide
Marble Street Quarry9.5 mi awaySwimming Holes
Marble Street Quarry is a Vermont swim-access page in the Rutland County with a quarry swim page with a blocked-pull-off arrival and a stronger local-cool-off identity than a full park destination. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Horses Heaven9.7 mi awaySwimming Holes
Horses Heaven is a Vermont swim-access page in the Rutland County with a Deep Rocks-adjacent local pool page with a separate pull-off and a stronger alternative-stop feel than a flagship destination. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Deep Rocks9.7 mi awaySwimming Holes
Deep Rocks is the best-known of the East Poultney roadside river spots, with a short path, deep clear water, and a stronger jump-and-hangout feel than many quieter coverage pages. It is still roadside and risk-sensitive, but it is one of the better remaining swim priorities in southern Vermont.View Guide
Congdon's Point17 mi awaySwimming Holes
Congdon's Point is a Vermont swim-access page in the Chittenden Reservoir with a Chittenden Reservoir swim-access page with boat-ramp parking and a walk-in reservoir edge. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
