About Warren Covered Bridge

Warren Covered Bridge in Vermont presents a serene cold spring tucked beneath its historic wooden span. The crisp waters of the Mad River create a natural swimming hole framed by lush greenery and the bridge’s charming architecture, offering a truly refreshing retreat. This spot captures the tranquil beauty of Vermont swimming holes with an authentic, rustic vibe.

Getting There

Reach the spring via a short 10-minute walk from limited roadside parking near the covered bridge. The path is easy but can get crowded during peak summer days, so plan accordingly. There are no developed facilities, so prepare for a primitive outing.

What to Expect

You’ll find cool, clear river water flowing beneath the bridge with a modest sandy and rocky beach area for settling in. The atmosphere feels relaxed yet lively, especially on warm weekends when locals gather. Being clothing optional, it attracts a range of visitors who appreciate its open-minded nature and natural surroundings.

Tips for Visitors

Visit during weekdays or early mornings to avoid the busiest times and secure parking. Bring your own towels and water shoes as the ground is uneven and rocky. There are no fees or lifeguards, so exercise caution when swimming in this beautiful but wild Vermont swimming hole.
