About this swimming hole
On the Mousam River off the Mousam Way Trail, rocky ledges offer jumping spots into a classic New England swimming hole. The 'M'-blazed trails from the Sanford-Springvale recreation area make it easy to find. It is southern Maine's answer to the mountain swimming holes up north.
