Looking for a more secluded natural spot to take a dip with the family, especially as the weather heats up? Vermont has dozens of swimming holes.
Many are river pools, some at the base of waterfalls, and a few even offer cliff-jumping opportunities.
These eight spots are areas known to be family-friendly: without too much of a hike to access, with nearby parking in some cases, and featuring some cliff jumping (but not too high).
Swimmers should always exercise caution, including making sure the water temperature is warm enough for being submerged and the currents aren t too swift. Wear water shoes while walking or climbing on rocks.
