Nearby Spots
- Big Falls1.3 mi awayWaterfallsBig Falls is the short-trail gorge stop on the Missisquoi River at Big Falls State Park, with big water, steep gorge walls, and one of the strongest waterfall payoffs in northern Vermont. The lower river can invite wading and cooling off in gentler conditions, but this is still a powerful river corridor that needs conservative judgment whenever the water is elevated.View Guide
- Trout River Falls12 mi awaySwimming HolesTrout River Falls is a Montgomery swimming hole where two short falls drop into a vivid green pool locals also call Three Holes. The pull-off is tiny and the last approach follows the river itself, so save this one for low water and scout every move before you commit.View Guide
- Lowell Falls12 mi awayWaterfallsLowell Falls helps extend Northeast Kingdom waterfall coverage with a real named stop that is more about regional depth than blockbuster demand. It belongs in the catalog as a simple, scout-first waterfall page.View Guide
- Jay Branch Gorge13 mi awayWaterfallsJay Branch Gorge is the more dramatic waterfall-style page in the northern Vermont Jay Branch corridor, with a tighter gorge feel and more visual payoff than the softer brook pages nearby. It is still a scout-first NEK coverage page, but it gives the catalog another real northern gorge stop.View Guide
- Four Corners Swimming Hole1.1 mi awaySwimming HolesBugbee Brook at VT-101 Four Corners—dirt lot across from Jay cluster; USGS Missisquoi is basin trend, not pool depth.View Guide
- Lake Willoughby North Beach22 mi awaySwimming HolesLake Willoughby North Beach complements the South Beach page with another real public-access NEK swim option that people can actually use and place. It belongs in the catalog because it is practical, public, and genuinely useful.View Guide
