Swimming pools and water slides can be fun during the summer months. But if you’re more of a nature lover, this natural outdoor water playground is a stunning spot to cool down during the hottest months of the year. Awesome rock formations, waterfalls, and an epic swimming spot await in small-town Vermont.
The area got its common name, Three Holes, from the three waterfalls that cascade into three pools. This natural oasis also has an alias and is sometimes called Trout River Falls.
The largest waterfall feeds the upper pool which has the most space for swimming. It is surrounded by tall cliffs on either side so it's often shady. This is the best spot for jumping off the rocks. The second pool is fed by a smaller 8-foot waterfall and is a small place to sit in the water and relax.
