Before you go

Use a conservative roadside pull-off, not the water pin.
This is a short-stop page, not a flagship destination.
High water helps this one a lot.
Any off-road move should stay very modest and careful.
If there is no safe pull-off, skip it.

Moss Glen Falls (Granville)1.4 mi awayWaterfalls
Moss Glen Falls in Granville Gulf is the roadside-friendly waterfall that many Route 100 drivers stop for, with a short trail and a dramatic mossy drop tucked into the narrow gulf. It is an easy reward, but the rocks near the base stay wet and slick enough that this works better as a quick waterfall stop than a casual water-entry page.View Guide
Warren Falls4.7 mi awayWaterfalls
Mad River roadside stop in Warren, short access, cold water, and slick rock.View Guide
Warren Upper Pools4.7 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
Warren Store Gorge / Swim Spot5.9 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
Roxbury Falls6.6 mi awayWaterfalls
Roxbury Falls helps add another named central Vermont waterfall page in a corridor better known for mountain roads than specific waterfall coverage. It fits best as a smaller scenic detour page with straightforward expectations.View Guide
