About this swimming hole

Brewster River Gorge in Cambridge is a 75-foot gorge on the Brewster River, reached by a just-under-3-mile trail from the Grist Mill Covered Bridge in Jeffersonville. A Vermont waterfall guide says visitors can take a dip in the swimming holes created by the gorge on a warm day. Seven Days filmed locals cooling off here as part of its Lamoille County swimming-holes tour.
