Punch Bowl Swimming Hole1 mi awaySwimming Holes
Punch Bowl Swimming Hole is the better-known private-access Mad River Valley swim page with real local history and strong word-of-mouth awareness. It needs a careful posture because the access norms are different from public river corridors, but it is still one of the most important remaining swim pages in the valley.View Guide
Warren Covered Bridge1.4 mi awaySwimming Holes
Warren Covered Bridge is a Vermont swim-access page in the Mad River Valley with a covered-bridge cool-off page with classic Mad River Valley village access and straightforward local-day utility. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Warren Store Gorge / Swim Spot1.5 mi awaySwimming Holes
Warren Store Gorge / Swim Spot is a Vermont swim-access page in the Mad River Valley with a Warren village gorge-pool page with short walk value and stronger local-river texture than the easier bridge pages nearby. It works best as an honest scout-first river, quarry, pond, or gorge stop rather than an overhyped secret-spot page.View Guide
Ward's Swim Hole1.7 mi awaySwimming Holes
Ward's Swim Hole is one of the softer-named Mad River Valley local swim pages, useful mainly as regional depth for people looking beyond the headline Warren and Waitsfield spots. It should stay honest as a lower-confidence local river stop rather than a polished marquee destination.View Guide
Lareau Swim Hole2.9 mi awaySwimming Holes
Mad River off Route 100 near Waitsfield—short approach, cold water, mixed waders and jumpers, busy fair weekends.View Guide
Warren Upper Pools2.9 mi awaySwimming Holes
Warren 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
