Summary
Vermont’s scenic swimming holes are deadly traps for the unprepared—eight drownings a year average, officials warn. Don’t swim if you’re not a strong swimmer or wearing a life jacket. Always go with a buddy, avoid foamy water (you can’t float!), and brace for icy shock. Hidden dangers lurk beneath shifting waters, especially after winter and spring. Hotspots like Huntington Gorge, Bingham Falls, and Sterling Gorge demand extra caution. Rescues are brutal, time-sensitive, and emotionally taxing for first responders. Love the vibe?
