New Haven River
The New Haven River runs out of the mountains in Lincoln and flows down thru the town of Bristol, in Vermont. It is home to some of the greatest swimming holes in New England. Starting at the bottom of Lincoln Road, just north of Bristol Village, you will find Split Rock, Bartlett's and Circle Current, as the locals call them. Venturing further up the mountains you may happen across some hidden, locals only spots. Make nice, those kids are pretty suspicious of outsiders!
The Old Mill
Taking it's name from a defunct but still standing mill, downstream from the falls, the Old Mill swimming hole is a locals favorite. It's pretty hard to find, which keeps the riffraff out, it comes complete with gentle bubbling baths and a stubby, slot-canyon-like chute, which is deep enough for jumping off the 20 foot cliffs.
