Before you go

Use the Green River Reservoir parking area on Green River Dam Road.
This stop feels quieter than the bigger park beaches, but it is still public access.
Reservoir water can stay cold even on hot days.
Wind and weather make a bigger difference here than at tighter river holes.
Treat this as a scenic swim area first and a swimming hole second.

Nearby Spots

Green River Falls1.3 mi awayWaterfalls
Green River Falls is a lower-key Hyde Park waterfall with a short-stop feel, a wooded brook corridor, and enough payoff to matter for Lamoille County coverage. It is better as a small waterfall outing than a destination swim page, especially when recent rain makes the brook louder and the approach softer.View Guide
Cady Falls Swimming Hole5.2 mi awaySwimming Holes
Shallow cascades and ledges on the Lamoille at Morrisville’s Cadys Falls reach.View Guide
Goulds Mill Falls7.3 mi awayWaterfalls
Goulds Mill Falls is a useful Lamoille County waterfall add with a quieter local feel and enough named identity to earn a page. It should stay framed as a smaller waterfall stop rather than a major destination hike.View Guide
Sterling Gorge Falls12 mi awayWaterfalls
Gorge cascades near Stowe—trailhead parking, short rocky approach, moderate-risk water context.View Guide
Beard Recreation Park7.2 mi awaySwimming Holes
Beard Recreation Park is a Johnson swimming hole with an enormous Gihon River pool, a gradual entry, and park-style access right beside the Power House Covered Bridge. It is one of the easiest family-friendly river stops in northern Vermont, though the ledge, current shifts, and warm-day crowds still call for normal caution.View Guide
Journey's End Swimming Hole8.1 mi awaySwimming Holes
Journey's End Swimming Hole is a Johnson brook-side stop with protected public access to half a mile of shaded Foote Brook. The pull-off and walk are short, but this one is best approached as a scout-first splash-and-swim stream with slippery rock and falling hazards around the cascades.View Guide
