About this swimming hole
A 40-foot cascade hidden in Mt. Mansfield State Forest pours through moss-draped gorges into a chain of deep pools. The half-mile descent feels prehistoric, with ferns and old hardwoods closing in overhead. Strong swimmers brave the chilly plunge pools beneath the falls, and the cliffs draw experienced jumpers.
