Parks & Nature
This waterfall is one of several classic swimming holes in southern Vermont. There is a large pool below both the middle and upper falls, each being deep enough for complete submersion. The 20-foot tall middle falls drops into a deep 25-foot wide pool of clear, olive-green tinted water. There is a ruggedness to the middle falls that is noteworthy.
