About Bolton Potholes
Bolton Potholes offers a refreshing retreat among Vermont swimming holes, featuring large, smooth rock bowls filled with pristine cold spring water. These natural pools invite you to cool off and connect with nature in an authentic, unspoiled setting.
Getting There
Reaching Bolton Potholes involves a brief walk ranging from 2 to 15 minutes from a small, limited parking area. The path is straightforward but expect some popularity at the lot, so early arrival is wise during busy summer days.
What to Expect
The water stays brisk and invigorating, perfect for a cool dip on a warm Vermont day. With three separate pools carved into the stone, you’ll share the space with a steady flow of visitors, creating a lively atmosphere. Facilities are minimal, preserving the site's natural charm.
Tips for Visitors
Plan your visit in summer when the pools are at their most inviting, and come prepared for busy conditions and limited parking. Bring sturdy footwear for walking the short trail and carry out all trash, picking up anything you find to help maintain this cherished spot. There is no fee, but respect for the environment is essential.
