BURLINGTON WATERFALL MAP Here is a map that provides an overview of the best waterfalls near Stowe and Burlington in Vermont.  BOLTON POTHOLES Rating:  Bolton, Vermont Joiner Brook 0.2 mile hike one-way (easy) One of the most enjoyable swimming holes in all of New England. Come prepared for heavy crowds and expect a challenge in finding a legal and safe place to park. There is a chance that this place will get posted as private property in 2017 or 2018, so be aware of the potential for being turned away if you visit.
HONEY HOLLOW FALLS Rating:  Bolton, Vermont Preston Brook Less than 0.1 mile hike one-way (easy) Uncrowded and highly photogenic, Honey Hollow Falls is series of several small but attractive drops through a beautiful gorge.
HUNTINGTON GORGE Rating: Richmond, Vermont Huntington River Less than 0.1 mile hike one-way (easy) Come to Huntington Gorge to see the falls and the fascinating geology, but don't come here to swim. No other waterfall in New England has such a high body count. This is a beautiful but extremely dangerous place to swim.
BROWNS RIVER FALLS Rating:  Jerico, Vermont Browns River 0.3 mile hike one-way (easy/moderate) Local town parks with small waterfalls have a lot of charm. This place is no different.
FAIRFAX FALLS Rating: Fairfax, Vermont Lamoille River Less than 0.1 mile hike one-way (easy) Yes, there's a dam here, but the falls are still mighty impressive anywhere.
SHELBURNE FALLS Rating:  Shelburne, Vermont La Platte River Less than 0.1 mile hike one-way (easy) A small but easy-accessible waterfall. Swimming may or may not be possible here, but on my two visits, the water has been murky and full of foam.
