Description

Added by The Outbound Collective

Bartlett Falls is a beautiful waterfall in the gorge of the New Haven River as it descends toward Bristol, Vermont. Bartlett Falls also happens to be one of the most poplar swimming holes in the entire state!

The 14 foot falls plunge into a deep pool, perfect for cliff jumping. There is even a shallow end for younger children. Always take caution when cliff jumping. Make sure your path is clear of rocks.

Direction: Turn east on Lincoln Gap Road from Rt. 116 a mile north of Bristol. The falls are visible on the right side of the road about 1/4 mile from Rt. 116. There is abundant parking along the side of the road.

This is an awesome spot to spend an afternoon! The swimming area is great for families because there are plenty of shallow pools. As you swim upstream toward the falls, the river gets progressively deeper. There are a lot of cliff jumpers! You can go behind the falls here, which is really cool!

Warren Falls is a popular local swimming hole just outside of Warren, VT on Route 100. You can access the falls by driving south on Route 100 from Warren (it's 3.5 miles south on the right hand side) or north from Granville on Route 100.

Photograph Moss Glen Falls

While enjoying some of Vermont's most beautiful fall foliage along Route 100, be sure to stop and photograph Moss Glen Falls. Located approximately 3 miles outside of Granville, Vermont, Moss Glen can be found right along the roadside, making these falls easily accessible. There is a large parking area near the falls where you can pull off and park. Cross over a small bridge (visible from the ...

Hike to Mount Philo

Mount Philo is a great hike year-round with incredible views from the summit. Starting from the bottom, the right hand portion of the loop is ‘paved,’ while the left hand portion is more of a traditional trail hiking experience. Dogs are allowed on this trail, but must be kept on leash. Take caution in the winter, as the trail and parking lot can be icy. The trail is also a popular sledding loc...

Camel's Hump Summit via the Burrows Trail

This adventure takes you up the Burrows Trail from the Huntington side of Camel's Hump. There are multiple trails to the summit, but this trail is the shortest. It is 2.4 miles to the summit with 2300' elevation gain. The trailhead is accessed from the aptly named Camel's Hump Road out of Huntington Center; follow signs from town towards Camel's Hump Park. Follow this road for about 3.5 miles ...

Hike at Texas Falls Recreation Area

Directly across from the main parking area are the viewing access points of Texas Falls. A footbridge crosses high above the flume and gorge, offering the best views. Crossing the bridge, there are plenty of other great view points with wooden railings keeping you away from the steep drops. The downstream portion of the falls offers another small viewing area with a view through the rocky ...

Camp at Lake Dunmore

The campground office for Branbury state park is on the opposite side of Route 53 from the pin on the map here, but the best campsites are where the pin is. Start by going and talking to the rangers at the office, they are super friendly and very helpful for recommendations of hikes or things to do nearby. You can always make a reservation ahead of time here although I feel its only necessary...
